In reply to:

But Greek ατελης (atele:s) seems to be derived from τελος (telos), there being no *τελης (tele:s).


Oh, certainly. I'm not denying that there is a form compounded from the privative alpha and telos, just saying that the form is atelhs rather than the quoted *atelos.

In fact, all the compounds that I can find in the LSJ where telos is the final element seem to have telhs.

Edit. Blast. Copying and pasting doesn't preserve the Greek. How do you get it to show on this board?
