How about enabling quail-completion on using "TeX" input
method as below?  I think it's rare to use TAB while editing
a TeX/LaTeX file, thus using it for quail-completion is ok
while typing some letter.

(quail-define-package
 "TeX" "UTF-8" "\\" t
 "LaTeX-like input method for many characters.
These characters are from the charsets used by the `utf-8' coding
system, including many technical ones.  Examples:
 \\'a -> á  \\`{a} -> à
 \\pi -> π  \\int -> ∫  ^1 -> ¹"

 '(("\t" . quail-completion))
 t t nil nil nil nil nil nil nil t)
