That an hagiographic account of a person known to be very full of himself is written in the third person is certainly no strong evidence that he didn’t write it himself. Caesar for example wrote of himself consistently in the third person in the Commentarii de Bello Gullico.
And yet Paul was a megalomaniac narcissist of the first water and wrote his Epistles in the first person.
