Yep :) It's capitalization: you want maxima-mode-hook.
Note that
C-h a "Maxima.*mode-hook"
(without the quotes) comes up with it uncapitalized.
Also, (quick + dirty check) something that I do to check what's bound to
a hook is put a space after the quote temporarily:
(add-hook ' Maxima-mode-hook
and C-x C-e after the variable name. With maxima-mode-hook, you should
see nil or possibly maxima-font-setup. With the capital, you get an
error.
