Can this function be auto vectorized with NEON?

Greetings,
I currently try to have this matrix-vector multiplication function auto-vectorized to Aaarch64 armv8 NEON instructions and a 9.3.0 gcc without success:

I also tried replacing it with the explicit version commented out:
return typename mat<4, 4, T, Q>::col_type(
m[0][0] * v[0] + m[1][0] * v[1] + m[2][0] * v[2] + m[3][0] * v[3],
m[0][1] * v[0] + m[1][1] * v[1] + m[2][1] * v[2] + m[3][1] * v[3],
m[0][2] * v[0] + m[1][2] * v[1] + m[2][2] * v[2] + m[3][2] * v[3],
m[0][3] * v[0] + m[1][3] * v[1] + m[2][3] * v[2] + m[3][3] * v[3]);
I tried -O3 and -ftree-vectorize but it only produces the usual fmadd etc. instructions, no NEON.
Can someone tell me which parameters g++ needs to even consider NEON?
Regards
