Asesprite is free if you build from source yourself.

Graphicsgale is free.

Krita is free and does animation.

Any? As long as the editor offers some sort of grid option and layers, just re-arrange the tiles as required for GMS.

Auto-tiles aren't any different from "simple" tiles except they follow a specific format as explained in the manual:
https://docs2.yoyogames.com/source/_build/2_interface/1_editors/tilesets.html
You would just create the tileset in any image editor and then load it into the editor.

Or use Tiled to create your maps, use its autotile features, and import into GMS.
