I don't know what you mean with automatic line wrapping.  Do you mean
the functionality provided by `auto-fill-mode', i.e. the insertion of
linebreaks once you write beyond the fill column and type SPC?  Or do
you mean functionality like the one provided by longlines.el which
wraps long lines when a file is loaded and unwraps these lines again
when the file is saved?

Do you mean a continuation line?  See (info "(emacs)Continuation Lines").

That's not what I am talking about.  What I mean are constructs which
span more than one line (and thereby one ore more linebreaks),
e.g. some words in quotation marks like in the following example:

  text text text text text text text text text ``quote quote quote
  quote quote'' text text text text text text text text text

Better use this slightly changed function:

(defun TeX-scramble-buffer ()
  (interactive)
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (while (not (eobp))
    (cond
     ((looking-at "\\w+")
      (replace-match (make-string (length (match-string 0)) ?x))
      (goto-char (match-end 0)))
     ((looking-at "\\\\")
      (goto-char (TeX-find-macro-end))))
    (forward-char)))

Yes.  The last message I got twice.
