Auto-fill-mode fills at a specified column number, not at whatever the
current window width happens to be.

You can use set-fill-column with an argument to change this value (by
default C-x f is bound to set-fill-column).  So, to change it to 32,
type C-u 3 2 C-x f.

As a shortcut, if you just use C-u without specifying an argument, it
will use point. So it's usually easiest to space over to where you
want the fill column to be, and type C-u C-x f.
