Which Tramp version do you use? The upcoming Tramp 2.1.12 has a new
command `tramp-cleanup-connection', which you can call interactively.
This is not "reconnect automatically", but it could be a starting point.

I could also try to let it run in the background when it detects a
broken connection. But this needs more sophisticated checks, in order
not to run into an infinite loop.

A sledge-hammer workaround, also applicable in Tramp 2.0, is to delete
the Tramp connection buffer *tramp/ssh ...*
