you might also try reftex, which comes with auctex. it doesn't do
autocompletion (AFAIK), but if you type C-c ) emacs opens a buffer listing
all the labels in your document, from which you can pick one. reftex takes
care of inserting the \ref command, and it is also smart about the labels
it shows you. i.e. if you type C-c ) right after the word "section", it
only shows you the section labels, etc.

reftex also handles citations, but i have no experience with it, since i
use my own code for that.
