A possibly better solution would  be to complete on the tex file
first, but would still complete on the other files if there is no
other completion :
zstyle ':completion::*:(vi|vim):*' file-patterns '*.tex' '*'

...that way, if there is a tex file and you hit tab, zsh will complete
on the tex file even if there are other acceptable completions.


It's also possible, and probably even better, to complete first on
whatever is not one of the outputs of latex, while retaining the
completion on them failing that.
zstyle ':completion::*:(vi|vim):*' file-patterns
'*~*.(aux|dvi|log|idx|pdf|rel|out)' '*'
