Some mods will not automatically update using the launcher. Other mods do automatically update. The mods that do not update have the field "canautoupdate" set to false. If that field is manually set to true, the mod will update. However, the steam.json is overriden upon exiting the launcher with the result that the "canautoupdate" is set back to false. This is happening to me personally and some, but not all, of the other 19 players on my server. The most recent mod that this has happened with is GameLabs.

To be clear -- the above entry was after I manually changed the "CanBeAutoupdated": value to true. It was false.
