You're not supposed to play it sneaky. This is the confusing part of the quest if you want to take the sewers. From the doorway where Ioverth ditches you, go into the room on your right, then turn left out to the main path (don't aggro the guards on the left, but it doesn't really matter), then turn right to face a group of soldiers with a mage which will start a cutscene. Defeat them and continue down that path.
