1) Don't auto raise donk leads
2) Auto raise min bets if you were going to to cbet anyway
3) If you do raise, do it with outs, example above i don't mind the raise
4) Don't double barrel (maybe J, but i check here too a lot), take your free card and value the river if you hit

Above is on the assumption your playing against donkfish

Not bad advice at all.

I donklead with air, medium hands and big hands a lot, particularly against tag fish and observant players. Just gives you a lot of manouverability.

The type of donkbets OP is talking about, though, are common from weak players who have a medium strength hand and don't know how to handle themselves OOP against a raiser. They don't want to check/call, but they don't want to check/raise and inflate a pot either. They're happy to either take the pot right down there, or charge ou for a turn and hope they can see a cheapish showdown. So raising isn't a bad strategy, but because they're weak players they'll often get stuck to their top pair quite a bit as well. .. Particularly after you show down K high a few times. Some sort of subtlety is required on your end when handling those spots.
