The log file contained clear indications - it seems that
kpsewhich --var-value=SELFAUTOPARENT
did not return anything useful. In this case the updated cannot work.
But since it works on the command line:
> $ kpsewhich --var-value=SELFAUTOPARENT
> /usr/local/texlive/2018
I guess that - because TLU is cleaning the PATH before starting, your TL
is not found ...
Please ask on the Mactex mailing list or TLU issue tracker.
Thanks
