Can you try to set the esp to AP mode after the library autoConnect line of code? I think it might work as a workaround.

 if (!wifiManager.autoConnect(SSID, PASS)) {
    //reset and try again, or maybe put it to deep sleep
    ESP.reset();
    delay(5000);
  }
WiFi.softAP("ESPsoftAP_01", "pass-to-soft-AP");

and if you want you want to configure your AP, here
