With the setting above, what is the value of the variable
`electric-indent-mode' when you open a .tex file, nil or t?

If I open a .tex file, do 'M-x electric-indent-local-mode RET' in order
to turn off the mode locally, I get this with your example:

xxxx
  \begin{itemize}

  \end{itemize}
test

xxxx

I think this is what you also want, right?
