the point defense cannons should fire automatically when the drones come into their range.

I meant to get back to this earlier, but real-life has been seriously interfering with my ability to double-check things.
It appears to me that drones do not consistently trigger PDC; in general, it seems like they fire when the PDC ship moves, but not when the drone moves. I have never seen PDC on a weapon platform fire on a drone unless I targeted them manually in Tactical. (This was the most frustrating thing I noticed in the Drone Wars scenario.) I have seen drones start outside a ship's PDC range, then close with the ship and ram it without being fired on.
