I don't really understand: what files are not there that should be there?

the part of the procedure you quoted is the installation of
unattended-upgrades: you can verify that unattended-upgrades is working
the way you want simply by running it as root in console. this part of
the procedure does not automatize anything, so if you do not run
yourself unattended-upgrades you may have the false impression that it
is not working.
did you follow the rest of the procedure, and which part, in order to
automatize the execution of unattended-upgrades? what is the content of
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades ?
also, I seem to remember that the default set-up for unattended-upgrades
is upgrading only security issues for the stable channel. If you want
something like proposed updates or follow testing or unstable channels,
you have to alter the default set-up
