You are irritated by "autolearn=failed"? Autolearning is not the same as
using the Bayesian features. Though the former requires the last to be
active. And autolearning does not use each mail checked, it only applies
to messages with more or less reliable spam / ham score values.

Did you set in local.cf something like following?

use_bayes 1
auto_learn 1
bayes_learn_to_journal 1
bayes_file_mode 0600
bayes_path /var/spool/MIMEDefang/bayes
