I found it. I added  file called early-init.el in .emacs.d directory.
That file contains 
(setq package-load-list '((auctex nil) all))
I removed that file, restarted (my old master emacs) and then could
install auctex 13.

However that did not solve the problem, I think I have to bisect my init
file.
