Edit hidden text file ~/.xinitrc in /home to include a mate entry and use f1 in slim login window to toggle into mate.
I am not in my shop right now yet to show you my Mate destop line entry in ~/.xinitrc in my 32 bit base AntiX 11 Desktop.

#xset m 10 2
xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 2 3 4 5'
# The following line gets changed by antiX-init.sh with the desktop= cheatcode
XINITRC_DEFAULT="startfluxbox"

Final will have desktop managers/wms working with slim, even ones installed by user.
In fact, IIRC, the beta does have this feature in the control centre under Session -> Edit Login Options.

Yes, if I used metapackage-installer, I could choose mate in edit login options.
Probably if I installed it any other way too, if I got all the files it needs installed.
