It looks from the description of astyle, that you should just be able to use astyle still, automatically as you type in Vim.

See :help 'formatprg' and :help 'formatoptions'.

You have autoindent turned on twice, and smartindent (which I would recommend NOT using, it's not smart at all), and also cindent. cindent will override all the previous ones.

Additionally, normally you don't turn cindent on in your .vimrc.

Instead, right before your "syntax on" command, put:

filetype indent on

or

filetype plugin indent on

This will turn on Vim's smart filetype-based indenting.

If you want to use astyle you may not want to put the "indent" in there however, or you could override it for C/C++ code using the "after" directory (:help after-directory).
