I've never seen any first hand evidence that Isayama planned to end AOT like 'The Mist'.

In fact, I've never seen any evidence that he ever publicly stated HOW he's going to end AOT other than that everyone dies, but that's really vague.

You should read our manga article:

"He had also planned a tragic ending for the series in which everybody would die, similar to that of the film adaptation of 's ; but after the manga and anime gained so many fans, he began to worry about the impact that such a conclusion could have on them, and now he is unsure of whether he should go ahead with it. However, he admitted that he still likes the idea."
