Check whether the service is enabled in systemd:

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

If it isn't, enable it:

# systemctl enable postgresql@12-main.service
