Autocomplete does not work with Startpage either, but I don't think that this is a Brave issue.

Tried using both Ecosia and Startpage on Firefox, and there's no autocomplete there as well.

Ecosia's autocomplete worked for me in Firefox, Chrome and Edge. You may be right about Startpage, it doesn't work for me there either.
