You can 100% prevent auto start via a GPO, amending the JSON on the users machine or going into the Teams client options and doing it user per user

Can also do it via Registry

As for Auto Sign In, it looks like SSO with Azure AD is the way to go

A third party identity tool may also do this however after logging in initially Teams does persist with that login so I would consider whether this is worth the time investment. I know that you are looking for the cleanest UX for your users here.
Hope that answers your question!
