I think it's activated by thunar, thus thunar should be started.

That's expected, Nautilus should be started automatically by
Gnome if found.

1. It should be done automatically if you log into an XFCE
session;
2. If you use a Gnome session you should arrange that the
session starts Thunar instead of Nautilus.
A. Test the stuff. From a shell prompt:
** stop Nautilus to check that Thunar is doing the
mounting, not Nautilus:
nautilus --quit
** start Thunar in the background:
Thunar --daemon
** try if the USB drive is mounted automatically.
B. Make settings permanent:
** save the session after stopping Nautilus and Starting
Thunar as above.
Hope this helps.
