In Emacs' tex-mode.el, LaTeX-mode is an alias for latex-mode.

Whether those modes are AUCTeX, you can find out with

C-h f LaTeX-mode RET

If not (it is announced in the doc string), you have not activated the
package according to instructions, usually done with

(require 'tex-site)

in your .emacs file.

If you do that, both LaTeX-mode and latex-mode should be replaced by
AUCTeX's TeX modes.
