It relies on S2S. The current autoupdate protocol (which could be cleaned
up a little) is designed so that clients send a presence packet with the
following format:
  <presence to="1251235123 at update.jabber.org/0.1.2.3"/>

Where '1251235123' is a unique identifier, '0.1.2.3' is the current
version number, and update.jabber.org is (of course) the target host. If
your server doesn't have S2S configured, then autoupdate won't work.
