If you see dbus-daemon --system somewhere in your system, it's running. If 
it's not running, fix your system.

The system daemon cannot be autostarted. Systemd has a complex way of starting 
it at boot it, but the discussion is not relevant here. If you depend on how/
when systemd starts it, then please take the discussion to the systemd mailing 
lists.
