Description

When a ManyToManyField in Django Admin is set in autocomplete_fields the signal m2m_changed is not triggered if DEBUG=false in settings but if we switch DEBUG to true the signal m2m_changed is triggered.
This is only reproductible if the ManyToManyField is present in autocomplete_fields if it is not, m2m_changed work correctly.

I don't see any DEBUG-dependent behavior in the admin. Moreover, Django 3.2 in the extended support and no longer receives bugfixes (except security patches), Can you reproduce the issue with Django 5.0? or with the current Django's main branch? Please reopen the ticket if you can debug your issue and provide a sample project that reproduce it with Django 5.0+.
