Going from memory here, but I think so long as the EEC is transmitting valid data, the A/T will not automatically disengage. If/when you shutdown the failed engine via the fuel cutoff switch, the EEC will do a reset which will cause a loss of EEC data for a second or so - not sure if the 767 A/T will stay connected through that interrupt or not.
I'm retired so I no longer have access to any meaningful documentation.
