Thanks very much I almost finished to add all the macros, when I run
into the problem, so you are almost re conquering the crown again. I say
almost because:

The problem is with the behavior of the last case.
IMHO, when RefTeX is plugged in, the label should be inserted
*automatically* without any prompt. That is the value of the label is
automatically calculated by RefTeX. That, at least for me, is the whole
point of RefTeX: one has not to bother and to keep track manually of the
labels used (like oops is it label number 123 or 124, don't remember
right now). [1]
That is why I proposed
(defvar exam-use-reftex nil
"Variable which controls whether to use `reftex-label' or `TeX-arg-ref'.
Default is to use `TeX-arg-literal'.")
; or Tex-exam-label
(if exam-use-reftex
(defalias 'TeX-arg-literal 'reftex-label))

Footnotes:
[1] frankly, without starting a flamewar, assigning labels in AUCTeX
without RefTex is for my like using plain tex instead of LaTeX.
