There is some spurious whitespace at the end of the last line. This
prevents the whole stanza from being processed since the suffixes do
not match.

You specified to call LaTeX mode in the local variables stanza. This
mode will be called after `fill-column' is set and call
`kill-all-local-variables' which kills off the local value of
`fill-column'. Solution: Set all variables in the local variables
stanza _after_ specifying the major mode.

The variables in AUCTeX are called `TeX-open-quote' and
`TeX-close-quote', not `tex-open-quote' and `tex-close-quote'.
