I think automatic updates will also occur only if a user is logged in. Correct?
As far as I know, you are correct on both points. Microsoft acknowledges that this is pretty stupid. (Problem is not specific to Mac)

After reviewing the scenario, I regret to inform you that, at this moment, it appears to be a design limitation.
OfficeC2RClient.exe will not update if user not logged in - Microsoft Q&A

Quote:
Unfortunately, OfficeC2RClient.exe requires a user to be logged in to update Office. This is because the update process requires access to the user's profile and registry settings. There is no way to update Office without a user being logged in.
If you find a workaround or third-party product that can do this, I would like to hear about it.
