Nope.
Trim is not implicated in the climb into the stall, so wouldn't change that.
To get out of stall, the first step is the pilots recognizing it. That didn't happen, and trim (or lack of) wouldn't change that.
It might have made for a faster recovery, but there was no recovery attempt, and had there been a timely recovery attempt, the trim wouldn't have been full up anyway.
In contrast, the behaviour you suggest (autotrim drops out) is a contributing factor in several fatal accidents and near-accidents, on both A & B. Particularly when the automatics have trimmed the a/c up into the stall in the first place. One more thing too many for the pilot to remember in a recovery.
