Not Ranked
I just went out and tried my auto darkening helmet (which only goes up to a #13 also). I could tilt the helmet up while keep my eyes lowered until I sensed that it had darkened and then look up for couple of seconds to see the partial (early) stage of the eclipse.
However, when the eclipse progresses, I'm not sure if there if there will be sufficient brightness for the helmet to darken. Any clouds going past the sun, hindered it's darkening when I tried it.
