Can I use a standard pvc new work box for receptacles/ switches, in an outdoor patio wall that will be enclosed? The wall will be completely sealed and covered in stone so rain, snow, etc. will not be able to enter the box(es).

set your door with available shimming it in place then use a 4000 psi rated NON SHRINK grout this will harden and will not allow the door to move .be sure its non shrink use a small trowel to push to grout under the jam don't try and get away with only using your hands the trial will help you make sure you have no air bubble so there will be no room for water to fill small voids and freeze causing separation good luck
Simple floor scrapers like this one, pictured below have always done the job for me - they will take pretty much anything off a flat surface including splashed concrete.

As long as it is out of the weather as you describe then standard boxes, devices and plates are fine. This installation sounds no different than a garage for instance.
Now, if this covering is voluntary, as in only on sometimes, then an inspector could very well consider this a damp or even wet location due to the fact that in some circumstances the area is likely to get wet. As in an unexpected rain storm while you are at work. If this is the case I would treat the area as damp, with outdoor covers.
