Could you please read the documentation:
http://arxiv.org/html/cs/0504039v1

1. You *have to* enable
Edit -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Automatically close brackets
The integral sign (S-F5 I) is a kind of "left bracket", which should be 
automatically closed by the invisible "right bracket". It signals the end 
of the integrand. You can see it if you do
Document -> View -> Edit source tree
as
<big|.>
It is translated to the ordinary ) when sent to maxima. From the absence 
of this ) in your case it seems you don't have this invisible closing 
bracket. By the way, if you don't want to do bracket auto-closing, you can 
insert this sign by hand:
\ b i g tab . enter

2. You *must not* write * between EXPR and the differential sign, just a 
space.

If you do these two things right, your input is converted to
tmint(a,b,EXPR,x)
and tmint is defined in texmacs-maxima-5.11.0.lisp

I have just checked this with TeXmacs-1.0.7.2. Everything works.
