Ajax node edit and rules

Hi, I'm using some custom code to create ajax node edit pages. Also I have a rule that should fire when content is updated.

If I update the node using normal form rule is fired, when ajax form is submitted it does not.

I have an entry in logs that entity was updated, but no rule evaluation log.

The function looks like that:

function modal_raw_node_edit_node_page_edit($node, $js, $force_page_reload = FALSE) {

    $type_name = node_type_get_name($node);
    $title = $node->title;
    $commands = array();

    ctools_include('node.pages', 'node', '');
    ctools_include('modal');
    ctools_include('ajax');

    $form_state = array(
        'title' => $title,
        'ajax' => TRUE,
        'build_info' => array(
            'args' => array($node),
            'base_form_id' => 'node_form'
        ),
    );
    $form_id = $node->type . '_node_form';
    $form_state += array(
        're_render' => FALSE,
        'no_redirect' => !empty($form_state['ajax']),
    );

    $form = drupal_build_form($form_id, $form_state);
    if (!empty($form_state['ajax']) && (!$form_state['executed'] || $form_state['rebuild'])) {

        if (is_array($form)) {
            $output = drupal_render($form);
        }

        $commands = array();
        // If the form has not yet been rendered, render it.
        $commands[] = array(
            'command' => 'customer_form_display',            
            'output' => $output,
        );
    }
    
    if (!empty($form_state['executed']) && empty($form_state['rebuild'])) {

        // overwrite commands.
        $commands = array();

        ctools_add_js('ajax-responder');
        $commands[] = ctools_modal_command_dismiss();
    }
    print ajax_render($commands);
    exit;
}

I've tried including rules files but nothing helped. It's actually weird because I thought that "After updating existing content" event does not have anything to do with how the update was triggered. Any information would be helpful.
