You know who calls a preflop bet for $15 but not $18? No one in the history of live 1/3 NL poker. At least, that's my experience; yours may differ.
One of the problems here is that we're in MP, so we have zero clue how many people (and who) are interested in their hand and would like to see a flop. If we were in LP we'd have a much better clue of what type of raise size is likely to "isolate" (if we even decide that's something we want to do; AT is often dominated by hands we end up isolating).
In EP/MP, I auto-fold ATo. ATs plays fine multiway in high SPR pots, so that's why I'd typically open limp it in these spots. In LP, we'll have more information and therefore more options (including raising).
Note that with all of this I'm simply referencing your idea of "isolating". If you are cool with going 5ways to a bloated low SPR pot with this hand (which more than a few in this thread are, I'm just not one of them), then your result is fine.
