$auth_timeout_field gets overrriden in tslib_feuserauth::start if 
lifetime is > 0 which override the garbage collection usually set to one day

so the chain is:
tslib_fe::start->tslib_feuserauth::start->t3lib_userAuth::start

To check why it doesn't work:
1) is [FE][lockIP] = 0 otherwise it might create problems, when IP changes
2) What is the default setting in the browser? Does it accept only 
session cookies or does it handle any cookies as session cookie?

Hopes that helps
