I just tested with Emacs 25 as of today and the current AUCTeX ELPA
package.  My ~/.emacs for testing was either empty or just contained
(package-initialize).  In both cases, finding a TeX file and enabling
`prettify-symbols-mode' has the result of using the above function as
override for the default `tex--prettify-symbols-compose-p'.

Do you somehow load AUCTeX manually?
