NO WAY!

But here it is:

#+begin_src emacs-listp
(org-crypt-use-before-save-magic)
(defun jd:org-decrypt-everything-silently ()
  (let ((m (buffer-modified-p)))
    (org-decrypt-entries)
    (unless m
      (set-buffer-modified-p nil))))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'jd:org-decrypt-everything-silently)
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda ()
                           (add-hook 'after-save-hook 
'jd:org-decrypt-everything-silently)))
#+end_src

- Loading org-mode on a file decrypt everything;
- Saving encrypt everything (org-crypt-use-before-save-magic adds this);
- After-saving we re-decrypt.

Using this method with auto-save-hook should be possible.

Yup.
