Welcome to "make"! Instead of the above, you could just do
make -k EMACS="~/path/to/emacs-25/src/emacs -Q"

Hmm... the way things normally work is as follows:
- GNUmakefile ensures that all packages have a "<pkg>-autoloads.el" file.
- The "%.elc: %.el" rule of GNUmakefile runs Emacs, setting up
package-user-dir as being the "../elpa/packages" directory, then calls
package-initialize which should "activate" all package in there.
- activation of auctex is done by loading packages/auctex/auctex-autoloads.el.
- packages/auctex/auctex-autoloads.el begins by adding .../packages/auctex
to `load-path'.
- a bit later, packages/auctex/auctex-autoloads.el does "(require 'tex-site)".
- this require succeeds because of the previous addition to load-path.
So my best guess is that for some reason .../packages/auctex was not
added to load-path by .../packages/auctex/auctex-autoloads.el.
Can you check the contents of .../packages/auctex/auctex-autoloads.el?
It should start with
;;; auctex-autoloads.el --- automatically extracted autoloads
;;
;;; Code:
(add-to-list 'load-path (or (file-name-directory #$) (car load-path)))

Every file is compiled by a separate Emacs process, which always starts
by doing package-initialize, which will load tex-site.
