Check whether the service is enabled in systemd:

# systemctl status postgresql(at)12-main(dot)service
● postgresql(at)12-main(dot)service - PostgreSQL Cluster 12-main
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/postgresql(at)(dot)service; enabled-runtime; vendor preset: enabled)
^^^^^^^

If it isn't, enable it:

# systemctl enable postgresql(at)12-main(dot)service
