This is because the TAB key is now bound to the function
`indent-for-tab-command'. (When did this change? I don't see anything
in NEWS about it.)
The command you are looking for is `tab-to-tab-stop', which you can run
by typing M-i, or you can bind it to the TAB key with something like
(global-set-key (kbd "TAB") #'tab-to-tab-stop)
