It seems like you might be using reflection.  (Is that the default for
Elixir?  I forget.)  I would suggest not calling elixir.setup_all() at
the module level contrary to the article above.  Maybe the code is
trying to connect to the db before you get to the create_all() part?

I have Elixir working in 0.9.7.  Instead of setup_all() in __init__.py
I have it in load_environment() :

def load_environment(global_conf, app_conf):
    # ...
    # CONFIGURATION OPTIONS HERE (note: all config options will override
    # any Pylons config options)

    from sqlalchemy import create_engine
    bind = create_engine(config['sqlalchemy.default.uri'])
    elixir.metadata.bind = bind # probably a better way to do this
    elixir.setup_all()

My websetup.py looks like:

def setup_config(command, filename, section, vars):
    """Place any commands to setup <yourapp> here"""
    conf = appconfig('config:' + filename)
    load_environment(conf.global_conf, conf.local_conf)
