Inside of heredocs, bash (and other shells) can do certain expansions
and substutions, so the Vim syntax highlights for those. However if
the delimiter word (here EOF) is quoted in some way, like \EOF then
those expansions and substitutions are disabled, and Vim's syntax
adjusts accordingly.

In short either escape backslashes inside the heredoc or simply use

tex << \EOF
\relax
Hello?
\end
EOF
