In Papermerge 2.1 automatic import was moved out main codebase. This means that there is no "importer dir" in configuration.
In order to import documents from some local folder "in automatic way" you need to start project the way you did, register an REST API key
and then use some other 3rd party application which will do the import by using REST API.

At this point there is no "3rd party application" which means you need to write it yourself, or wait a little bit until I will write one as a demo.

The point is that "automatic importing" is very broad requirements and there are many ways to implemented. Thus core application just exposes REST API for "uploading documents, creating folders" etc and external applications do the rest.

Regarding config, papermerge.conf.py is also obsolete, new configuration either uses environment variables or configuration file in toml format. Here is overview on how to use new toml configuration file.
