If you look at the smb.conf the OP posted, you will find the ranges are
set to:

idmap config *:range = 2000-9999
idmap config MY.AD.REALM.COM:range = 10000-99999

His user 'auser' intially has this 'uid=10028', it then changes to
'uid=2018'

I do not really understand how he got the first as the second 'idmap
config' line is wrong, the user should have had the second id all the
time, because the user is outside the domain 'MYDOMAIN'.

'10028' is inside the second range, but shouldn't have been used
because the DOMAIN name is wrong.
'2018' is inside the range set for '*' i.e. everything outside the
DOMAIN
