In plain latex-mode, it's C-c C-o enum TAB RET

And if you enable latex-electric-env-pair-mode, you can edit one of the
`enumerate' and the other one is kept in sync on the fly.

And that's the crucial difference between AUCTeX and plain latex-mode:
plain latex-mode does not even attempt to keep track of which packages
you use and which commands you define.

This is also the case in plain latex-mode.  The two packages may differ
when it comes to the encoding used for the non-main files of
a multi-file LaTeX document, tho.
