Buffer-local variables are evaluated in the current buffer which might
be *scratch*.  So ensure you make the buffer you are interested in
current, e.g., by evaluating this in *scratch*:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(with-current-buffer "*Messages*"
  auto-fill-function)
;;=> nil
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
