Thanks for pointing this out again. Yes, there where those variables defined.
But the relevant header file had "mode: plain-tex" defined and therefore an
el-file was not created in the auto folder. I changed this to "mode: latex" and
everything is working now.
Now the question arises, why AucTeX is doing this. I have set the master file,
the mode was set automatically.
See the faulty handled file below.

No idea, I have only created this .emacs file. But when I open a tex-file,
AucTeX starts. Mostly, a menu entry LaTeX is created. In the mentioned case of
this header file only a TeX menu entry was shown.
What line should I add to force AucTex to be loaded?

Here's the header file that AucTeX recognizes as plain-tex:

\input{./header/header_document}

\usepackage{ifthen}  %OS depending package loads
\newboolean{texlive}
%\setboolean{texlive}{true}
\setboolean{texlive}{false}

\input{./header/header_generalpackages}

\input{./header/header_layout}

\input{./header/header_graphics}

\input{./header/header_mathematics}

\input{./header/header_links}

\input{./header/header_literature}

\input{./header/header_glossary}

\input{./header/header_codelisting}

\input{./header/header_misc}
