Wow, that is really misleading. (And AUCTeX is responsible, I think.)
C-h v major-mode RET should show `latex-mode’.

However, that hook is not being run, presumably because whatever this mode is, it doesn’t count as “LaTeX-mode”. [I did delete the now-obsolete LaTeX-install-toolbar from the hook, but that doesn’t change anything.]

Have  you tried starting Aquamacs without customizations (via Help/Diagnose menu).  What happens?

Keep in mind that Aquamacs loads initialization files including your personal preferences from many different locations (see Aquamacs manual).


LaTeX-mode-hook should be run when you enter latex-mode.

When you type M-x latex-mode RET, does it start up a different mode?
If so, take a look at `auto-mode-alist’ and `magic-mode-alist’.
Perhaps you’re running some other mode when loading .tex files.
