Thanks!
I did not intend for you to spend any big effort just to help my personal debugging, and in fact, I can now report that something else other than the evolution installation itself is causing keyring access at login: Having just realized I had a test machine of my own available, and now it has evolution on it (that comes with the default bookworm installation anyway) where autologin does not prompt for the keyring password!
I have not set up any email accounts on the test box (in fact not even started it up at all), so that makes me wonder if it is the result of some mail account setup I did in evolution on the offending machine . . . Seems far fetched, but I have to say I do not understand why evolution is so dependent on having keyring access in the first place. Also, the way it has a totally impenetrable way of connecting to gmail (which unfortunately I am forced to use) involving some "black box" process called oauth2, makes me wonder if my gmail setup in evolution has something to do with that.
The mystery deepens . . . I'll report back after doing some more digging around!
