We don't know if Mantle is really doomed, and he's still abandonning the city with most of the inhabitants being here without knowing if he can save more. Besides his plan to elevate Atlas so Salem can't reach the relic is far from being sure to work and if it doesn't it could instead mean that Atlas' fall may be even more epic and destructive if Cinder or Salem gets her hands on the relic anyway.

And by doing this and turning into a full military dictator he may instead alienate Atlas even more from the rest of the world causing even more divisions that Salem could exploit.
