The most likely explanation is that it was automatically-installed as a dependency of another package, and an update to that other package has removed the dependency. But I'm only guessing: it would be nice if unattended-upgrades documented the rationale more. You could look at "apt rdepends php7.1-mbstring" and see if you have any of the packages installed, and if any of those were updated at the same time.
