This isn't possible, Microsoft only provides a way to turn off this feature by default and not the other way around by using Group Policy:
"This policy setting allows you to turn off AutoSave by default in Word. AutoSave automatically saves all changes a user makes to files that are stored in OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint Online. If you enable this policy setting, AutoSave is off by default in Word. But, the user can enable AutoSave for Word by going to File > Options > Save. Or, the user can enable AutoSave for a specific Word file by using the AutoSave toggle in the title bar. If you disable or don’t configure this policy setting, AutoSave is on by default, but the user can disable AutoSave by going to File > Options > Save or by using the AutoSave toggle. Note: This policy setting only applies to subscription versions of Office, such as Office 365 ProPlus."
There is no policy available to lock this setting to always be on. Further details on AutoSave for admins is here:
What IT administrators should know about AutoSave
Unless a user goes into the options and turns this feature off entirely, toggling the AutoSave button will only effect that particular document. Being able to keep this feature on, I agree would be useful.
