Can you sim a fight and level heroes?

As far as I can tell when you simulate a fight you only earn the reward drops at the end of the fight that you would usually get. This means that the heroes in your current team won't earn xp and so won't continue to level up.
You can set your team fighting and use auto play so the AI plays for you but this probably takes longer than playing yourself and it means the fight is not a guaranteed win like a sim fight.
Is there a way to sim the fight and level the heroes in your team?
