If the soil needs P and 18-46-0 is all you can get, I would definitely still put it on. Maybe 150 lb material/acre. That would 69 lb P which would really help the clover situation with only 27 lb N. As I said earlier, do a good job of keeping the N-stimulated fescue in check in the spring and you can still get a good clover take.
I think a lot of people who have not had good success with interseeding clover may not be managing the spring grass competition aggresively enough. We try to it fescue hard early and then rest it as the clovers start coming on.
I wasn't trying to say earlier that lime and P, K, S, B are not important for good clover production. I was just saying you don't have to have everything perfect to get started, as long as you manage the competition.
