C-c C-e columns RET

Completion with <TAB>.

What did you type for getting completions?

Can you confirm that these values are actually set?  For example by
showing us the output of `M-x TeX-submit-bug-report RET'.

Opening a file with the contents

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

in a fresh Emacs session I see something like

Loading tex...
Loading advice...done
Loading tex...done
Loading latex...
Loading easy-mmode...done
Loading latex...done
Loading font-latex...
Loading cl-macs...done
Loading bytecomp...done
Loading font-latex...done
Applying style hooks...
Loading ~/scratch/auto/beamer-test.el (source)...done
Loading /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/style/beamer.elc...done
Applying style hooks... done

in the *Messages* buffer.  Do you see something similar?  The
important line is the one where beamer.elc is loaded.
