No, chronyd can set the RTC only with about 0.5 second accuracy due to
the 1s resolution of the RTC (it doesn't try to time the operation
unlike the kernel or hwclock). As long as the estimated offset is
smaller than 1 second, chronyd will not try to trim the RTC, even if
the rtcautotrim threshold is smaller.
I'd suggest to disable the RTC tracking in chrony and run hwclock
every few minutes (e.g. from cron).
