I'm afraid I can't follow you…

AFAIK, specifying "AUTO" in the LaTeX header is supposed to be replaced
by whatever the coding system of the LaTeX buffer happens to be when it
gets saved.  (I've never used it, so it might work differently.)

That is not what I was talking about, however useful it might be.  I
have already defined the input encoding "utf8" in my LaTeX header and
want to ensure that the buffer gets saved in that format.  As an
extension, if I specify any other encoding for LaTeX, the buffer should
be saved in a matching encoding, independently of the encoding that the
org buffer had.  If that's a "downgrade", i.e. not all characters are
encodable in that new system, then what you describe above might become
necessary.
