I was wondering if there was a way (in apt.conf maybe) to keep
important/required packages installed even if marked installed

to be removed.
The question is then why you mark it as automatically installed
(and therefore as "remove if no longer needed")
if you don't want it to be automatically removed…
But have a look at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove to see how
e.g. the kernel package is protected from being autoremoved
even though they are autoinstalled (by a kernel metapackage).
