Is there any chance if they have cf_auto map?

Unfortunately, it's unknown if the map was ever released, as the gameplay video shows how scripted it was. CannonFodder who created cf_autos might have it, but he hasn't been around since 2012 by the looks of his website.

I sent him a letter back in 2018, asking if he still had any beta content. He answered that unfortunately his HDD failed and he lost everything he had years before

but to be serious, we could ask him if he could go to someone repair his failed hdd. If they repaired, then i could be a very very small chance to cf_auto release

I just double checked and it turns out I was wrong! I sent a letter not to CannonFodder, but to jb55, the author of some custom maps from that era and JB mod.
So I guess sending a letter to CannonFodder worth the try.

My internet was too slow back then to download the beta. so Taz00 burned 2 disks and posted it for me. still have that disk

OBSOLETE

TeamGabeN's Team Fortress 2 Invasion plus developmental-related content from late 2006; were added to the archive. Once again, special thanks to Hyperjag for the impossible he retrieved from TeamGabeN's FTP with limited access long ago.

More amazing news! Another individual Highflex who heard the previous announcement came forward to having rarer leaked builds of TeamGabeN TF2 Invasion up to April 2007 plus the source code! The tf2_teamgaben directory is now reinstalled with the latest patches we have available so far.

NO WAY, we're the strongest community i think

The unbelievable just happened! Many months ago, I contacted a former HL2World member TAz00 (now goes by Cluster Fork Ops), who yesterday contributed to the project by providing all the remaining items he had from that era. New stuff has been added in XTRA: art and HL2: HTML, maps, readmes, screenshots, and videos. Another change is the project reverting to 2003-2004 as archived community leak files after the retail CSS/HL2 release will be a separate future project.

NO WAY

Long time no updates! For a few months, I have wanted to get an update on this collection after hearing two things. One is IntriguingTiles contributing lost content made for the leaked Half-Life 2 source code from Valve Cut Content Discord. Another is the hyped-up Megapatch 5, which will likely mention my mod, as the number of upcoming patches will make it too big to include non-Valve storyline mods. Now, on my end, two maps from HL2World were recovered after discovering that content was still being made for the leak engine as close to the official HL2 release date!

Here's something from early 2004 I found on a Russian HL fan forum. You can still download some stuff from messages attachments, but it's mostly uncompiled vmfs:
