Thank you. Seems as it works well:

// Force slug auto generate
function myplugin_update_slug( $data, $postarr ) {
if (in_array($postarr['post_type'], array('post', 'page')) &&
!in_array($data['post_status'], array('draft', 'pending', 'auto-draft'))) {
$data['post_name'] = wp_unique_post_slug( sanitize_title( $data['post_title'] ), $postarr['ID'], $data['post_status'], $data['post_type'], $data['post_parent'] );
}
return $data;
}
add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'myplugin_update_slug', 99, 2 );
