Let me comments and explains step-by-step:
1. You said:
"emacs -Q" session resulted in built-in latex mode
Yes. This is true in all my testings.
After the above step 1, I observed the following behavior:
2. If AUCTeX hasn't installed by `package-install', after I installed
it by `package-install' and open a .tex file, then AUCTeX LaTeX mode
will be enabled automatically.
3. If AUCTeX has already installed by `package-install', after I
re-installed it by `package-reinstall' and open a .tex file, then
*still* AUCTeX LaTeX mode will be enabled automatically.
4. If AUCTeX has already installed by `package-install', and I open a
.tex file immediately without reinstall AUCTeX, then AUCTeX LaTeX mode
will *not* be enabled automatically and the built-in latex mode still
will be effective for the opened tex buffer.
This is why it is necessary to test it using the following commands to
ensure that the latest version of AUCTeX is freshly installed for the
current Emacs session initiated by `emacs -Q'.

Sorry, I still don't see your points. If I understand correctly,
1. Previously, "emacs -Q" session resulted in built-in latex mode and
`LaTeX-electric-left-right-brace' wasn't effective. You typed "(" but
emacs didn't complete it to "()".
2. Now you have enabled AUCTeX latex mode even in "emacs -Q" session and
AUCTeX responds to `LaTeX-electric-left-right-brace'. You typed "("
and got "()" as expected.
Then what's wrong?

I suspect that it's in emacs built-in latex mode due to '-Q' option. But I've confirmed that the buffer is really in AUCTeX latex mode, as indicated by the AUCTeX menu bars and the following info given by `C-h v major-mode RET`: latex-mode is an autoloaded interactive byte-compiled Lisp function in ‘tex-mode.el’. (latex-mode) This function has :override advice: ‘TeX-latex-mode’. This is an :override advice, which means that ‘latex-mode’ isn’t run at all, and the documentation below may be irrelevant. ;;; Hit on ‘TeX-latex-mode’, I'll see the following: TeX-latex-mode is an autoloaded interactive byte-compiled Lisp function in ‘latex.el’.

bug#64921: 13.2.1; Infinite loop in LaTeX-arg-biblatex-cites with RefTeX
Hi All,
I might be missing something obvious on this one, but I couldn't
figure out a way to do it and as far as I understand the code, I see
no way to break the loop in `LaTeX-arg-biblatex-cites'. So I report.
When RefTeX is plugged into AUCTeX, trying to insert a `biblatex'
citation list with `TeX-insert-macro' will call
`LaTeX-arg-biblatex-cites' and, as far as I can tell, there is no way
to tell that function no further arguments are required. For sure,
one can interrupt the cycle from the call to `reftex-citation' with
"C-g" or "q", but then one also loses the citation altogether making
the attempt futile.
To reproduce starting with `emacs -Q'. Some setup:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-13.2.1")
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "reftex.el" nil t t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)
(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)
(setq reftex-use-external-file-finders t)
#+end_src
Visit a file with contents:
#+begin_src latex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
#+end_src
Now, use `TeX-insert-macro' to insert a biblatex qualified citation
list, say `\cites': "C-c RET cites RET". You are prompted for a
regexp, as usual, you can enter it, get a list of results, select one
with RET. And, you are prompted again for a new regexp, you can enter
it and select a new candidate, etc. etc. The only chance you get to
break the loop is at the regexp prompt, where you can leave it with
"C-g" or "q", but then you lose the whole citation command, which is
deleted.
Indeed, the loop in `LaTeX-arg-biblatex-cites' takes the form:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(while items
;; ... handling of optional arguments
(setq items (if (and (fboundp 'reftex-citation)
(fboundp 'reftex-plug-flag)
(reftex-plug-flag 3))
;; Use RefTeX when enabled.
(reftex-citation t)
;; Multiple citation keys in each argument are allowed.
(TeX-completing-read-multiple
(TeX-argument-prompt optional prompt "Key(s)")
(LaTeX-bibitem-list
;; ... macro/argument is inserted, but value of `items' is left untouched
)
#+end_src
So, since `items' is not touched after it is set with
`(reftex-citation t)', leaving the loop would require a way for
`reftex-citation's UI to return nil. I don't see how. But, again, I
may be missing something...

Gustavo.

`C-h v major-mode RET' gives the following:
--- begin buffer ---
major-mode is a variable defined in ‘C source code’.
Its value is ‘latex-mode’
Original value was ‘fundamental-mode’
Local in buffer test.tex; global value is fundamental-mode
Symbol for current buffer’s major mode.
The default value (normally ‘fundamental-mode’) affects new buffers.
A value of nil means to use the current buffer’s major mode, provided
it is not marked as "special".
Automatically becomes buffer-local when set.
You can customize this variable.
Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 29.1.
[back]
--- end buffer ---

I see, due to auctex has already been installed, I must test it as follows:
emacs -Q
M-x package-reinstall RET auctex RET
Open a tex file, and `M-: (setq LaTeX-electric-left-right-brace t) RET'
Then test the problem discussed here.
See the attached screenshot for the results.

I think that your local elpa database wasn't updated when you tried it
and emacs tries to install older version of AUCTeX, which no longer
existed on the elpa server.

Is that buffer in AUCTeX latex mode? I suspect that it's in emacs
built-in latex mode due to '-Q' option.
