The issue is one of definition. I don't know why people associate autopilot with a definition that isn't autopilot.

An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilot does not replace human operators. Instead, autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems) [0]

You would have one system trigger the simulated failure and another system trigger the abort sequence independently of the trigger system. If it's the same system that triggered the abort and activated the abort sequence after then you can only say that you have tested the abort sequence and not the abort sequence trigger.
