(add-hook 'sgml-mode-hook
  (lambda ()
    (setq tab-width 2)
    (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
    (setq fill-column 85)))

That code worked just now.  It doesn't appear very different (or at
all) from what you've shown.

Put code above into "*scratch*" buffer and evaluate it (press "C-x
C-e" at the end of the last line).  Then try to open SGML file.  If
that works, then you're not putting your code into the right place.
