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

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

Numerous modes are included in the package, and the Wiki on github will tell you how to implement it. Something like that:

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