I have iphone 7 with iOS 10. The maximum Auto-lock time is 5 minutes. When I am on phone call, the screen still auto-locks after 5 minutes. I need to go through entering pass-code to simply toggle mute/unmute. Also when my Google map navigation's on, the screen still goes into lock mode after 5 minutes. I need to be able to disable auto-lock in these 2 cases. Thanks.
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.1.1, null
Dude 5 mins is the max time you could have the iPhone lock itself or it's never. You'll have to lock with the lock button. So the only thing you could do is change the auto lock to never
Settings>Display & brightness>Auto-lock>Never

looks like 5 minutes is the max.
When I go into Settings>Display & Brightness>Auto-Lock I have a setting for "Never". You can set it to never Auto-Lock, but that may pose a security risk and drain your battery. Did you want to disable Auto-Lock only when using navigation or on a call?
Well, I never really felt like having auto lock on never as the navigation app always announces any change in direction that appear while on the way. Yes there is a security risk and also that the battery will drain but while on call my phone doesn't lock instead the screen just just goes black. And once the call is done and the phone is away from my ear the screen is back. So I never felt like having auto lock on never.
Do you have a Profile installed?
Some employers will install a profile on your device when you connect to their exchanges server.
Various settings can be changed and setting the phone so it can't be left unlocked helps prevent someone getting into their servers.

Frankly speaking, I've no idea about such profiles. It is all that apple has provieded me with their software ever since I started using. Never auto-lock is an option clearly seen when you go to Settings>Display & Brightness>Auto-lock>Never.

(My post was to Bavvo)
Which is why I provided a link how to remove them.

On your phone.
As I noted, some companies install a profile when connecting to their servers and remove Never from settings.

No need.
If there is a profile installed, you can usually simply delete it.
I don't have a 'never' option? How do I get it? I only have 30 sec, 1 min, 2min, 3min, 4min and 5min?

increase auto-lock time
