Simulate click on a compiled template

I'm having problems assigning a click event to a previously compiled external template, follow the code ...

Policy

angular.module('testeFuncoes').directive('fechaMenu', function($templateRequest, $compile) {

    return {
        link: function(scope, element, attr) { 

               $templateRequest("template.html").then(function(html){

                    var template = angular.element(html);
                    element.html($compile(template)(scope));
                    var cnt = $(element).contents();
                    $(element).replaceWith(cnt);

                    $('.ctnTeste').trigger('click');

               });  


        },

    }
})

Template

    <md-menu-bar>
      <md-menu>

        <div class="ctnTeste" ng-click="openMenu($mdMenu, ev)" style="display: flex; padding: 20px; background-color: black">
                <div class="subTeste" style="padding:{{color.red}}px; background-color:rgb(1,10,{{color.red}});"></div>
                <div class="subTeste" id="teste"></div>
        </div>...

That is, when I inject this template I want to simulate a click on it, but within the link function. When I pass the trigger, it gives me the following error [$ rootScope: inprog] $ digest already in progress, but if I assign the event manually it works, example ...

  $('.testebotao').on('click', function() {
    $('.ctnTeste').trigger('click');
  })
