You can probably use $wgDefaultUserOptions['rememberpassword'] = 1. See $wgDefaultUserOptions (and also $wgHiddenPrefs).

(MediaWiki 1.31.0) Add to LocalSettings.php:
$wgHooks['AuthChangeFormFields'][] = function ($requests, $fieldInfo, &$formDescriptor, $action) {
$formDescriptor['rememberMe']['default'] = true;
return true;
};
See Hooks/AuthChangeFormFields and HTMLForm.
