No. A steady autorotation is not a "low lift condition"; it is a low shaft power condition. In flight the lift is equal to the aircraft's weight times it's load factor, g's. Low lift means on the ground, or in pushovers, or at unusually low weights. Autorotation gives zero or negative steady blade lag, but the coning does not decrease. In fact, if you measure it closely enough you will see that the coning actually increases slightly in autorotations because the blade lift distribution shifts outboard during autos.
