There's a limitation in the current automation scheme in Logic for plugins.
Basically you can only automate CCs 64-127.
These are pseudo-dynamically assigned to your inserts.
Insert #1 = CC 64 - 79
Insert #2 = CC 80 - 85
and so on.

However, if you only have one EXS on an instrument track, you could automate
all possible 54 parameters the EXS has to offer. If you however have a
plugin following in the very next insert, the parameters for Cutoff and
Resonance will be "eaten up" by that plugin.
As a solution you could drag that plugin to a higher numbered insert. Then
you will be able to automate Cutoff/Resonance.

Just if you're interested, here's a list of all available EXS parameters and
how they refer to CCs (internal parameter number / CC number - EXS
parameter):
