`setq' shouldn't be used for hooks, use add-hook instead (see below).

`current-fill-column' is not a lisp variable for me.

Does this work for you?

(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook
          #'(lambda ()
              (setq fill-column 72)
              (auto-fill-mode 1)))


Again, if you insert text in the middle of the paragraph, you'll have to press 
<M-q> to refill manually
