go into normal mode and tried:

But this gives an error.
How?
In an autocommand, you need an ex-command, which <Esc> isn't. I suggest
:au CursorHoldI * stopinsert
Make sure 'updatetime' has a long enough value (the default is 4000, i.e., 4
seconds, which might be a little short for some people).
Best regards,
