Well he certainly achieved a transient increase in his height after pulling the handle.
Apart from the initial statement that the aircraft had suffered a mishap, I've seen nothing to suggest there was any declared issue with the aircraft that would have necessitated ejection. I'm assuming that the latest all singing and dancing seat would not be able to be triggered accidentally in the way that the late Taylor Scott's GR5 seat was believed to have been. Activation of the auto pilot might have been to allow the pilot to do/recover something which then didn’t go as intended.
