But if they do it on the mandate thing, won't all mandated auto insurance be unconstitutional too?

No. Not only is such a mandate very different, its also imposed by the state governments who don't face the same constitutional limitations of the federal government. Sate governments can do whatever isn't forbidden to them. The feds are only supposed to be able exercise powers that have been given to them. For the states everything not forbidden is permissible. For the feds anything not expressly authorized is supposed to be forbidden.
