I believe that way of installing TeXLive is gone for good.

The following worked for me a couple months ago:

 nix-env -i -A 'nixos.pkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-full'

Do you want the full TeXLive distribution?

Apparently, there are a couple schemes available, and you can also build
yours relatively easily.  I haven't tried that yet though.
