This won't work reliably as AUCTeX aliases tex-mode to TeX-mode.  Once
AUCTeX is activated, it is not really simple to get rid of it again.
AUCTeX 11.80 will have documented ways to do that, even on a
mode-to-mode basis.

However, in this case it makes much more sense to figure out what the
problem is.  Of course, reducing the font lock detail is a simple
measure.
