I can't see how the autopilot would stay on after loss of all generators, there's a time lag for the rat to work. Anybody tried it in the sim.
If the aircraft sank in one piece the air in the wings would not be enough to keep it a float , especially as the cabin fills.
The wings however would be crushed by the water pressure and then still with trapped air inside floated up.
