I assumed incorrectly that ELPA will overwrite the Debian package.  
After uninstalling it the situation improved. I mean that auctex works  
but I have to load it by hand. I guess it's not how it should be. I  
get also a message

byte-code: Invalid function: TeX-auto-add-type

Yes, I've installed also another one.

I will try to check it myself tomorrow and will report the result.
