The deleteAll() does not delete the associations however it is all fine with a single row deleting as we have cascadeDelete() in _processDelete(), but not in deleteAll().

This is the normal cakephp behavior, it is not linked with the soft delete plugin. deleteAll (whether it is soft or hard deletion) does not cascade to associations:
See http://api.cakephp.org/3.0/class-Cake.Datasource.RepositoryInterface.html#_deleteAll
This method will not execute on associations' cascade attribute. You should use database foreign keys + ON CASCADE rules if you need cascading deletes combined with this method.
