If the control has a "ClickablePoint" you can use this code

System.Windows.Point p = theButton.GetClickablePoint();
AutoItX3Lib.AutoItX3Class au3 = new AutoItX3Lib.AutoItX3Class();
au3.AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 0);
au3.MouseClick("LEFT", (int)p.X, (int)p.Y, 1, -1);

where AutoItX3Lib is the C# API for AutoIt (available on NuGet)

try with:

AutomationElement child = walker.GetFirstChild(el);
System.Windows.Point p = child.GetClickablePoint();
Mouse.Move((int)p.X, (int)p.Y);
Mouse.Click(MouseButton.Left);

Rather than sending mouse events, you can Invoke it through the InvokePattern like so:

public void InvokeAutomationElement(AutomationElement automationElement)
{
    var invokePattern = automationElement.GetCurrentPattern(InvokePattern.Pattern) as InvokePattern;
    invokePattern.Invoke();
}
