To get full Atmos support your tv needs a hdmi eARC input. There are some tv models with just ARC iputs you can get Atmos sound from, if it comes from a streaming service as they mostly use compressed Atmos with a DD+ Signal. 
But… to do so the tv has to be able to handle Atmos as signal format. Seems your tv doesn’t. 
The difference between DD5.1 and Dolby Atmos imo is a big one, if the movie has got a great audio mix.
