set fo+=2

and maybe

set fo+=a

You must still manually add two spaces indent to the first line, but after that the rest of the paragraph aligns as you want.

You could probably make some mappings to automatically enter the two spaces. Maybe:

inoremap <CR><CR> <CR><CR><Space><Space>

or

inoremap <CR><CR> <CR><CR><C-T>

And similar for pressing 'o' in normal mode. Consider buffer-local mappings so it only happens for plaintext files.
