Yes, the Geek guy found there are two places to set Auto-lock…

Under Display & Brightness and under Face ID & Passcode.

The under Display & Brightness only makes it dim after the set time. It is under Face ID & Passcode that you can set the time when it locks and requires your passcode to unlock.

willyoman is right, that is a possibility, you should disable Face ID to make sure you are not unlocking the iPhone while checking if it's been unlocked by someone else, and test it again

I am 100% sure it does not lock. At the designated lock interval the screen dims but wakes up with a touch, not a code or password.

Are you looking at it when it wakes? Do you have FaceID enabled?

Is it possible you are mistaking the always-on display for being on and unlocked? With the always-on display on the phone will dim and appear to be on the lock screen and you may see notifications there. If you are looking at the phone the face ID will unlock the phone.
