Pedro,

you have to use a Truetype font for rendering with LABELANGLE AUTO,
basis for this is a mapserver compiled with freetype support. Check
this on the commandline with 'mapserv -v', this should say

SUPPORTS=TTF

Then, instead of 

SIZE TINY

use

  TYPE TRUETYPE
  FONT "arial"
  MINSIZE 8
  MAXSIZE 12
  POSITION cc

and don't forget to have "arial" defined in your FONTSET.
