 (auto-fill-mode nil)

needs to be

  (auto-fill-mode -1)

on my machine for it to work.

I don't know if this is standard.  Since when is
nil positive?

It isn't.  An unspecified or nil argument is interpreted by a minor mode
function to mean toggle: turn it on if it's currently off, and turn it
off if it's currently on.
