Just an Idea. Would it make sense to weld one or more small piece of metal to the auger so that they extend an inch or so beyond the sides of the hole? This would rough up the sides of the hole in clayey soils, I think. They could be cut off when the auger is needed for another purpose.

Hi you will find that the auger polishes the sides of the drilled hole this
tends to restrict the ability of the roots to spread

I have been considering the use of a gas-powered auger for digging holes in
a clay-based soil to plant various types of fruit trees currently growing
in
2 and 3 gallon (about 10 inch diameter) containers and was wondering if
someone here has experience with this device and might comment on such
things as its efficiency vs other means, ease of use, auger diameter to
choose for this job and any potential problems to bear in mind.
Thanks.
