Simple way is to remove AcceptButton and CancelButton properties while you are in auto-complete textbox:

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        txtAuto.Enter +=txtAuto_Enter;
        txtAuto.Leave +=txtAuto_Leave;
    }

    private void txtAC_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        AcceptButton = null;
        CancelButton = null;
    }

    private void txtAC_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        AcceptButton = btnOk;
        CancelButton = btnCancel;
    }
