Probably the correct behaviour should be:
1) if autologin is enabled and the course allows it, then autologin.
2) else, login page.

In fact it was a major security issue to allow logins when guest button is hidden.
The guest login was intentionally disabled when the button is hidden, there is no other way to disable guest logins.
