Replace the autoload line in your .emacs with:

(require 'nxml-mode)
(require 'psgml)

This will ensure that psgml overrides nxml's definition of xml-mode. If
you leave those files to auto load, then it is always possible that nxml
loads later, overriding psgml's xml-mode definition, or nxml loads
first, and psgml never gets loaded because xml-mode is already defined.
