XML Code formatting is not specified in Ace itself, as it's just an editor. Use any of the answers in this question to prettify the code.

var code = ace.getSession().getValue();
// prettify
ace.getSession().setValue(code);

There are numerous modes included in the package and the Wiki at github will tell you how to implement it. Something like this:

var Mode = require('ace/mode/xml').Mode;
editor.getSession().setMode(new Mode());
