The stabilizer is automatically trimmed only when doing an autoland for which you need to have both AP engaged by 800 ft RA.
​​​​​​For manual landing you only keep one AP engage and flare won't arm and there won't be any automatic nose up trim.

As for disconnecting the AP 1 or 2 miles in, that is only a recommendation.
