[The leading “%” is a comment-char, it is necessary only for
LaTeX-files.]

Well, the line I posted earlier actually _toggles_ auto-fill-mode, so
if your have it normally turned _off_, you can use the same line.

A better solution would be to use something like this:

-*-mode: outline; eval: (auto-fill-mode -1) -*-

But this has the disadvantage that you are queried each time you open
the file whether you want the local variables section to be evaluated.

Is there any reason why you don't have auto-fill-mode turned on by
default? For example with:

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

This would also work for outline-mode. Then if you don't want this
for some text-mode derivative, you can turn it off:

(add-hook 'some-special-mode-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (auto-fill-mode -1)))
