Autoexposure works fine with a little bit of care. It's how I take all of my panorama. Shoot raw. Take brackets if the intra-frame contrast is too high to capture in a single exposure. Develop the raw files, cranking highlight recovery to max if needed, plus shadow boost. Assemble 16 bit tiffs as normal in Hugin. If there are large exposure differences in the entire scene, I'll export the whole pano with different exposures and enfuse them together, then adjust to taste. It's a bit more involved when incorporated brackets, masking in highlight/shadow detail for the under/overexposed exports.
I wrote a blog post https://www.dkloi.co.uk/?p=1501 on the technique using Hugin with example files.
