Thank you. Then neither your personal config nor other ELPA packages hinders AUCTeX. Currently, I have no idea why such error occurs, so all we can do now is to examine several diagnosises step by step. 0. Use ordinary emacs session below. (The above "minimal" session is no longer necessary.) 1. What is the value of `TeX-shell' in the document buffer? 2. What is the value of `process-environment' in the document buffer? The result can be quite long and may contain sensitive information. Mask the portion which shouldn't be disclosed with "*". 3. In the document buffer, type ESC : (start-process "dummy" "*output*" TeX-shell TeX-shell-command-option "set") RET Then the values of environment variables under `TeX-shell' will be inserted in a buffer named "*output*". Provide us the content of the buffer, masking sensitive information in the same manner. (After you are done, you can delete "*output*" buffer.) > Would it be possible (if potentially useful) to install an earlier version > of Auctex?

If so, going back to earlier version might be relavant more or less. To do so, download one of the package files from https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html , decompress it and specify the resultant tar file as the argument for M-x package-install-file RET .
