Why do you set the above in the mode hook?

Probably.  You can check this by not using them.

For example, put the following minimal setup into a file, say foo.el.

(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(setq TeX-outline-extra '(("\\\\begin" 7)))
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (outline-minor-mode 1)
            (hide-sublevels 1)))

Now start Emacs with
emacs -Q -l foo.el yourfile.tex

If I do this with the file shown above I get

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}...
\end{document}...

as displayed buffer contents.

Have you read the info node?  It allows you to collapse LaTeX
environments, which is what you want to achieve AFAIU.
