Sort of, but this mostly depends on the composition of the extracellular matrix of the organisms rather than whether they are autotrophs or heterotrophs.

Some examples:

Fungi have cell walls made of chitin and insects have an exoskeleton made of chitin. Chitin is resistant to degradation and so requires specialized enzymes to breakdown.

Plants (mostly autotrophs but some heterotrophs) have cell walls containing cellulose, which again requires specialized enzymes to break down.

Woody plants have other compounds (e.g. lignin) that are even harder to break down.
