I'm an elf wizard with good stats, lots of spells, resistances and intrinsics and level 15. I'm new to nethack but have been spoiling quite a bit. Does having teleport control interfere with the teleport for the quest or am I not high enough level? I got the telepathic message but the only teleporter I can find triggered teleport control.

The entrance to the quest is a magic portal, not a teleporter, so anything to do with teleportation doesn't have any effect whatsoever.
You can locate the portal with a crystal ball, liberal use of Detect Unseen or a wand of secret door detection, a cursed scroll of gold detection, or a non-cursed confused scroll of gold detection.
But what I usually do is just walk on every tile on the level with shift-move until I hit it.
