Yes, you are right. The dependence of the Modulus of Elasticity E on the speed of sound in a medium is more than that on density.
Air has an adiabatic bulk modulus of about 1.4x10^5 N/m2, and a density of 1.2 kg/m3.
Water has a bulk modulus of 2.15 x 10^9 N/m2, and a density of 1000 kg/m3.
The increase in density of water when compared to that of air is about 830 times, but the increase in Elasticity Modulus is about 15,000 times. Hence, the increase in Modulus of Elasticity mostly detemines the speed of sound in the medium.
You could find some examples on the speed of sound in gases, liquids and solids in the following web-page:
