Strange, because C-M-i should show you the standard Emacs *Completions*
buffer.  Check again the value of `completion-at-point-functions' in the
buffer with your .tex file.

Just install it from (M)ELPA and in the buffer with your .tex file, say

  M-x company-mode RET

Then you should be set for testing.  You can force completion with

  M-x company-complete RET

Otherwise it kicks in after you've typed 3 chars (I think).
