Sorry, I still don't see your points. If I understand correctly,
1. Previously, "emacs -Q" session resulted in built-in latex mode and
   `LaTeX-electric-left-right-brace' wasn't effective. You typed "(" but
   emacs didn't complete it to "()".
2. Now you have enabled AUCTeX latex mode even in "emacs -Q" session and
   AUCTeX responds to `LaTeX-electric-left-right-brace'. You typed "("
   and got "()" as expected.
Then what's wrong?
