I still don't see how to come to the conclusion that all games after October must have a NEO mode.

All I gather from Eurogamer is that Sony wants to strongly encourage developers to include a NEO mode, by not allowing any NEO patches for games released after October. The rest of the article goes on what a NEO mode can't do.

Again further on
Sony is very keen on developers supporting both systems simultaneously, and is motivating developers to ensure that there is Neo support in all PS4 titles from Q4 onwards this year.

Still not required, nor what improvements there must be apart from 1080p and fps >= ps4 version. Motivating is not mandating.
We'll see in October what NEO mode is actually going to be in reality.

Sony are mandating that all games MUST be 1080p in Neo mode as of October. They're also mandating that all games must 'run' equal to or better than the base PS4. These are mandates.
