This is how it's set up on my Quest: on the forward-facing part of the mirror there's a sensor that is for detecting the ambient light level outside and one on the rear-facing part that's for sensing headlights behind you. If it's bright out, the rear-facing one is either disabled or the car ignores its input.
In the garage scenario the forward one saw darkness and the rear saw bright light, so it dimmed. Once outside the forward saw sunlight and the car switched to "day" mode.
