I am guessing that in the 604 the apu generator is brought online in a standby mode when the APU is running and in this case automatically takes the electrical load when the engine driven gens drop off, preventing the ADG from deploying?
601/604/605 and 650 work the same way… if the APU was running it’s generator would be on standby and stay in that mode even with a dual engine failure.

The ADG should deploy automatically and provide limited electrical power but if you want the APU’s generator to take over and feed the electrical power, you need to select a switch that will change the power source.
