auctex is not compatible use-package / elpa handling. As a use-package user, after installing auctex from Debian, it will try to install auctex from elpa.gnu.org nonetheless. This is because the current auctex layout doesn't follow elpa convention so that it cannot be detected by use-package. It would be great to make it compatible so that use-package users don't have to install auctex twice.
I encountered the same exact problem on Emacs 30.1 (the version packaged in Trixie). It would be great to see this solved, so that the Emacs version in stable can "transparently" avoid depending on GNU ELPA when the Debian auctex package is installed.
