Bloggs- No that is not quite correct. If the overspeed is too high, then the autopilot will disconnect automatically and if the speed increases more, then an overspeed protection law takes over and then the nose will raise, and you can't stop it even from raising, even with full forward stick.

For minor overspends the autopilot remains connected and the FCOM procedure is to leave the autopilot connected and use speed brake.
