Hello acuken,

There is no auto-reply specific to Messages, but you may be able to create one using Focus.

When you turn on the Driving feature for example, it sends a custom message. See if the options there help you craft a time or is just manually enabled, until you turn it off: Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Otherwise, you need to look at third-party options or just send messages and then turn on DND.

Thanks.
