What do you refer to?  If you plug RefTeX into AUCTeX, it acts as a
backend, you still continue to use the same AUCTeX interface to manage
bibliography.

Where is the bibliography file located?  Do you have an autogenerated
file for it?  If the file is in the same directory as the main TeX
file, you just need to edit the file (no actual edit, saving the file
will trigger parsing of the file).  Please note that due to a
long-standing issue in AUCTeX, the bibliography file should not have
the same base name as the TeX files.
