"sudo fmtutil-sys --refresh" is the command I was thinking of…

The command fmtutil-sys is to be used with super-user privileges (for private 
use the command fmtutil exists). Its option "--all" will only then lead to 
actions when some file that is "included" by a FMT is newer than the FMT file. 
This means that *not* all FMT files will be updated. Texmf.cnf is not 
considered  as such a file.

If this leads to the same failures as before, you might consider launching GNU 
Emacs with -Q, i.e. without customisation. Then load AUCTeX manually – from the 
*scratch* buffer with its Emacs Lisp interpreter – and then load a faulty 
(La)TeX file and compile it. If in this case all works as it should, then 
something in your customisation could be faulty.

a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, 
grasping and unintelligent.
