Is 5 hours and 45 minutes enough for an international-domestic connection at Auckland airport?

Absolutely plenty, my routine timings from aircraft door opening to kerbside at the international terminal is about 45 minutes for a full A380s worth of passengers - that includes going through extended customs (with something to declare) and immigration.

Then you turn right and walk the length of the international terminal, across a road and on to the domestic terminal. Probably another 20 minutes.

If your baggage is checked through to Wellington, the above will be even easier.

Much more than enough time, I suggest you get a coffee or tea and enjoy the short walk from the international terminal to the domestic one instead of taking the bus (though that walk may be closed for construction still, I'm not sure). Sunrise isn't til 7:30 so maybe wait for a bit before leaving the international terminal so you can see that.

You will have to pick up your luggage from the carousel for screening (remember, don't bring any fresh fruit/vegetables or meat, dirt, plants, wood, basically anything you can imagine which might harbour insects, and if you have anything you're not sure about declare it to be safe or you can get a big fine) and take it to the domestic terminal. They'll tell you which carousel your flight's luggage is on, you can also usually just follow other people from your flight if you're not sure.

That is more than enough.

No connection is ever guaranteed, but unless something highly unusual happens, you will have a lot of leisure time in the airport.
