Start pulseaudio. Then unplug headphones. Speakers are muted. Then plug headphones in. Speakers are muted. Then unplug headphones. Speaker volume is unmuted. I expect Speaker levels and muted/unmuted state of Speakers in alsamixer stay intact when you plug headphones in or out. And concerning the Auto-Mute Mode "Disabled", Speakers should not get effectively muted when headphones are plugged in.
