Yes, I meant `M-SPC'. > What happens for me is, if I hit M-TAB,...

That's what I want. Yep. Sorry about the typo & confusion. > I like the behavior of M-SPC or C-e but I prefer to use M-TAB > key to get that behavior. Should I just rebind it? Sure. But you will likely find at some point that you want a key (some key) to complete symbol names (e.g. Lisp symbols, when you use `M-:'). `M-TAB' is the key for this in general in Emacs.
