Yes, that looks Ok in terms of the minor mode is disabled for the .tex
file you're visiting.
Can you please run this procedure:
• In a terminal, do 'emacs -Q & RET'
• In the scratch buffer, paste this snippet (assuming that you've
installed AUCTeX from ELPA):
(progn
(package-initialize t)
(package-activate 'auctex)
(defun remove-electric-indent-mode ()
(electric-indent-local-mode -1))
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'remove-electric-indent-mode))
put the curser after the last closing parenthesis and hit 'C-x C-e'
• Now open a .tex file and check the value of the variable
`electric-indent-mode' (which should be nil)
• Also check the value of the variable `TeX-newline-function' which
should be `newline'.

At a glance, I don't see anything suspicious.
