LWC - NavigationMixin not working

Question

I'm trying to get the NavigationMixin plugin to work in my Lightning Web Component. I'm following the instructions listed here but its not working, even though I'm copy-pasting the code from the example section. Could it be failing because I'm in a scratch org, or is there some kind of setting I need to change to enable it?

One last thought about the cause, could it be that I have it contained in an Aura component inside a Visualforce page? I'm doing this so it can exist in a list view, so I'd prefer if I didn't need to send an event back up the layers.

EDIT: Here's the exact code I'm copying. The URL seems to always be set to a Javascript function, and the handleClick function is ran but does nothing.

<!-- navigationLinkExample.html -->
<template>
    <div>
        <a href={url} onclick={handleClick}>Account Home</a>
    </div>
</template>

// navigationLinkExample.js
import { LightningElement, wire } from 'lwc';
import { NavigationMixin } from 'lightning/navigation';

export default class NavigationLinkExample extends NavigationMixin(LightningElement) {

    url;

    connectedCallback() {
        // Store the PageReference in a variable to use in handleClick.
        // This is a plain Javascript object that conforms to the
        // PageReference type by including 'type' and 'attributes' properties.
        // The 'state' property is optional.
        this.accountHomePageRef = {
            type: 'standard__objectPage',
            attributes: {
                objectApiName: 'Account',
                actionName: 'home'
            }
        };
        this[NavigationMixin.GenerateUrl](this.accountHomePageRef)
            .then(url => this.url = url);
    }

    handleClick(evt) {
        // Stop the event's default behavior.
        // Stop the event from bubbling up in the DOM.
        evt.preventDefault();
        evt.stopPropagation();
        // Navigate to the Account Home page.
        this[NavigationMixin.Navigate](this.accountHomePageRef);
    }
}

import { LightningElement, wire } from 'lwc';
import { NavigationMixin } from 'lightning/navigation';

export default class NavigationLinkExample extends NavigationMixin(LightningElement) {

    handleClick() {
        this[NavigationMixin.Navigate]({
            "type": "standard__objectPage",
            "attributes": {
                "objectApiName": "Account",
                "actionName": "home"
            }
        });
    }
}
