Yes, the problem is that the automatic initialization only take place for the default engines, which have to be configured through the configuration file.
For the engines that are used ad-hoc, the ENGINE_init() have to be called explicitly.

In my opinion it would be better to have nginx working with engines in both scenarios.
And is not a problem to call ENGINE_init() from multiple places, since the API takes care of this case.
