You didn't read very far in the manual :-) The very next node after Auto
Fill, tells you what you want:
,----[ <info://emacs/refill> ]

| Refill mode
|
| Refill minor mode provides support for keeping paragraphs filled as
| you type or modify them in other ways. It provides an effect similar
| to typical word processor behavior. This works by running a
| paragraph-filling command at suitable times.

There's also maniac.el, which does something similar.
