I used action groups to toggle engines 1, 2, 5, 6 off during flight, but nothing happened. After investigating, I found that the engines only shut down after they reach a thrust below ~4 kN.

It doesn't matter whether you do this by action group, or by hand in the PAM.

This is problematic because you can't shut down half of your engines whenever you want. You must idle all your engines so that the engines that have to shut down are below 4 kN. Only then can you throttle back up with the left over engines.
Re-enabling the engines works as it should and can happen whenever you like.

How it obviously should work:
Have 100% throttle. Disable the desired engines. Engine 3, 4 keep running 100%, engine 1, 2, 5, 6 slowly decrease to 0%.

 

In the video I toggled the action group. Unfortunately I have no way of showing when exactly I do, but I hope you can see the problem
