engine dead after autopilot disconnect

Hello, I'm a new user of the TBM 900 and today during an approach I disconnected the autopilot via a joystick key mapped to X-Plane's "Push AP/Trim disc switch" (it normally works so I assume this is the correct mapping to use) and the engine immediately died and propeller stopped completely and feathered.  Prop RPM was still showing 2000 but other indicators dropped and the engine sound went away and plane had no thrust.  Tried engaging the starter and nothing.  Crash landed and tried to start again but nothing.  I was trying for an ILS approach at the time but went manual when I wasn't seeing the localizer.  (I've since read that that's a bug being worked on).  I restarted the game and tried to replicate a few times and couldn't.  It happened once before a few days ago but I don't recall what I was doing at the time.  Tried searching a bit to see if this issue has been reported but didn't come across anything.

X-Plane 11.5r3

I just installed the TBM a few days ago so it should be the latest.

Let me know if there's additional data I can provide to help.

Thanks!
