It's probably not possible without modifying the autoreply plugin.  gaim
has two ways for plugins to send messages: 1) "send this message
directly", 2) "send this message, but pass it through the plugin chain
first".  When you type a message in a conversation window, it uses (2),
so the OTR plugin gets it and encrypts it.  But most plugins themselves
use (1), so OTR never gets a chance to see the message at all.
