The GX in your Easy doesn't have an output relay, so that Generator option isn't available via the GX. You could use Assistants in the Multiplus to set up your auto-start.
Don't know if the GX device in the Easy has a usb or ethernet port. If so, you might be able to add relays by a third party add-on called RemoteGPIO and the related relay and digital input hardware:

According to the spec sheet I used online. It states, yes for programmable relay. and generator auto control.Victron-EasySolar-II-24V-48V-3kVA-48V-5kVA-MPPT-250-70-100-GX.pdf
If you're referring to Note (5) in the Charger (Multiplus) section, that's referring to a Multiplus relay driven by an Assistant. It's called something like 'Generator Start/Stop Assistant'.
