Thanks to ACF support I was able to solve my problem like this:

function my_auto_title( $post_id ) {
    // Check if this is not an autosave
    if ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) {
        return;
    }
    
    // Check if this is a revision
    if ( wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) ) {
        return;
    }

    // Set the post title based on ACF fields
    $title = get_field('field_65a95b23de2d4', $post_id) . ' - ' . get_field('field_65a95bd0de2d5', $post_id);
    $post = array(
        'ID'         => $post_id,
        'post_title' => $title,
    );

    // Remove the action to avoid infinite loop
    remove_action( 'acf/save_post', 'my_auto_title', 20 );

    // Update the post
    wp_update_post( $post );

    // Re-add the action
    add_action( 'acf/save_post', 'my_auto_title', 20 );
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_auto_title', 20);

Not entirely sure why the infinite loop is not triggered anymore, but leaving this here if someone has a similar problem.
