What I have in my current onlinetester:

        b := form radio 
          beSubmitOnChange;
          id: id;
          name: group;
          action: [ self postAnswer: i to: frage ].


Looking into a fairly recent iliad source tree:

$ grep beSubmitOn .
./Core/XHTMLElements/FormElementElement.st:    beSubmitOnChange [
./Core/XHTMLElements/FormElementElement.st:     self beSubmitOnEvent: 'change'
./Core/XHTMLElements/FormElementElement.st:    beSubmitOnClick [
./Core/XHTMLElements/FormElementElement.st:     self beSubmitOnEvent: 'click'
./Core/XHTMLElements/FormElementElement.st:    beSubmitOnEvent: aString [
./More/Examples/TodoListGridWidget.st:          beSubmitOnClick;

So I guess that

  form a beSubmitOnClick; ...

should work.
