Oi.  Bad news.  Makes things a bit more complicated.
Some designers have not discovered substitionGroups yet :(

Which version of XML::Compile do you have?  It only got added in 1.25
The logic is in XML::Compile::Schema::NameSpaces::autoexpand_xsi_type($)
Also t/75type.t tests that it works.

Easier:
  $wsdl->prefix(dt => 'http://www.rsd.com/2011/07/datatype/schema');
  xsi_type => { 'dt:FilePlanType' => 'dt:rmFilePlanType' }

It will show you the list of choices for AUTO.

> I tried the AUTO mode like this

Correct.  Or
  xsi_type => { 'dt:FilePlanType' => 'AUTO' }
