This is also my understanding that `package-load-list' must be set in
early init file. I can't find a reference to that in Emacs manuals,
though. Maybe I drop Emacs a line about this.

Same here.

So the general possibilities to de-activate AUCTeX installed from ELPA
are:
1) Set `package-load-list'
(setq package-load-list '((auctex nil)))
in early init file accordingly, or
2) Set in init file
(unload-feature 'auctex-autoloads)
(unload-feature 'tex-site)
Optionally, one can customize `TeX-modes' which applies also to the
current installation method. If so, I'd say we can document that in the
manual and close the file.
Best, Arash
