I have a further question: how can I export a code like this:

#+begin_src latex
  \begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=1\textwidth]{foo.jpg}
    \caption{Figure example}
    \label{fig:foo}
  \end{figure}
#+end_src

to LaTeX to obtain a "working" figure code??

yes, indeed. and my claim was, that the completion facility of AUCTeX
then only shows the environment
\begin{document}..\end{document} and not f.ex. figure.

but when i tried to verify that claim right now, it curiously seems not
to be true any longer.

so sorry for the noise, my problem (if it ever was one) is solved.

cheers,
