\auto-footnote only works in standalone Text.

Probably:

\relative c {
  \time 2/4
  \hideNotes
  \omit Staff.TimeSignature
  |
  \override Score.FootnoteItem.annotation-line = ##f
  \override Score.FootnoteItem.padding = -1
  \override Score.FootnoteItem.Y-offset = 0.05
  \textLengthOn
  es'''2
   -\footnote #'(1 . 0)
     "Das Cello erzählt eine Geschichte ganz unabhängig von den anderen Stimmen"
   ^"un poco misterioso"
  <>
   -\footnote #'(1 . 0)
     "Die anderen Stimmen machen was sie wollen. ;)"
   ^"allegro chaotico"
  |
  \omit Staff.BarLine
  \repeat unfold 19 { es2 }
  \undo \omit Staff.BarLine
  \unHideNotes
  \undo \omit Staff.TimeSignature
}
