Just to be sure, the recipe is to save the file on your HD:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}
\title{Minimal working example}
\author{Florian}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{document}
\section{What happens}
This does not load AUCTeX correctly with the XeTeX commented option at
the end of the document, but works fine without it. With the option,
Emacs says that 'max-lisp-eval-depth' is exceeded and commands for
compiling the document under AUCTeX are not available.
Leaving out below option and doing 'M-x TeX-engine-set RET xetex'
produces no hiccups.
\end{document}
%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: LaTeX
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% TeX-engine: xetex
%%% coding: utf-8
%%% End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And then:
• Uninstall AUCTeX with 'M-x package-delete RET auctex RET'
• Restart Emacs and install AUCTeX via the package interface
• Start Emacs with "emacs -Q"
• In scratch, eval the following:
(progn
(package-initialize t)
(package-activate 'auctex))
• Open the .tex file above
• See if it works
• Also do 'M-x list-load-path-shadows RET' and check what it tells

Yes, that might be one conclusion.

The first step is described above: If it works in a clean environment,
we can proceed; and you might get help here from others :-)

I depends, it might be that you've loaded the built-in latex-mode. So
again, please follow the recipe above and tell us what you get.
