This doesn't work because fundamental mode does not have any hooks:
The `fundamental-mode' function does _not_ run any hooks; you're
not supposed to customize it. (If you want Emacs to behave
differently in Fundamental mode, change the _global_ state of
Emacs.)

No, I think the point of fundamental mode is that every option and
command has the default non-customized behaviour. So if you want auto
fill, you should probably use some other mode than fundamental mode --
maybe change the option `default-major-mode' to something else.
