I use helm for completion in minibuffer, but I didn't try
alternatives, like the already mentioned ivy.  Here is a longish guide
for configuring helm: https://tuhdo.github.io/helm-intro.html
However, regarding compatibility with AUCTeX, helm doesn't work with
`multi-prompt-key-value' (function used in AUCTeX to provide
completions for key=value syntax) and helm's maintainer doesn't want
to fix it because they only support recent Emacsens.

Bye,
