According to Microsoft, Patch Tuesday and Autopatch are meant to co-exist. In its Autopatch FAQ as well, the Redmond company has clarified this in detail:
Does Windows Autopatch affect Patch Tuesday? Do I have to change the way I manage updates for the devices in my organization?

Monthly security and quality updates for supported versions of the Windows and Windows Server operating systems will continue to be delivered on the second Tuesday of the month (commonly referred to Patch Tuesday or Update Tuesday) as they have been to date.

Organizations can continue to use the same processes and tools they use today—such as Microsoft Endpoint Manager, Windows Update for Business, and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)—to manage and deploy these updates.

Windows Autopatch utilizes the same tools just referenced – and leverages proven best practices backed by Microsoft experts – to provide an alternative for those organizations seeking a more automated, hands-off approach to deploying updates.
