Even if you fill the mempool, miners are not required to make a 32MB block. When the block size was 8 MB and the mempool was full some miners maxed out at 2 MB blocks.

And it happened like I thought. Mempool was 30MB but miners still only mined 8 MB blocks. https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/8swklk/what_is_going_on_with_the_blocksize/e12w1hd
