Retention Policy for deleted items Not working for all users

A requirement to create retention policy for deleted items was raised ,I followed the below steps, but still the policy is not working for all exchange users.

The environment is :Two MS WinServer 2012,with exchange 2013 installation in 2 different sites

I created a new Deleted item retention tag ,and added it to a newly created retention policy for testing .

And run the below commands :

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited | Set-Mailbox -RetentionPolicy " MYTestRetention "

It didnt work so I run the below against my test user:

Set-Mailbox "UserABC" -RetentionPolicy "MYtestretention"

run Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Identity UserABC

And then checked the user settings on ECP , I found the retention policy set correctly but it wasnt working  or deleting any items.

So I checked in mailbox usage ,and changed the deleted items retention period for 1 day.as below.

Only then it worked

The question is :

How can I apply this deleted items retention policy to all users in the domain without having to change it manually mailbox feature tab fr
