I Had this problem aswell but when I did abit of messing about I figured out how to do it without (auto lock being turned to never) when your stream starts playing on the Apple TV press the home button and you can lock your iphone/iPad from the home screen it works perfect now I am using an iPhone 5s and tested it on my wife's iPhone 6 and been tested on our iPad mini 3 and all works hope this will help everyone
