Thanks for the suggestion but even with electric-indent-mode enabled the 
problem persisted for me. Not sure why. Anyway, I added something to my 
emacs file that gives the desired behavior, in case anyone else ever 
encounters this. I added a julia-mode hook that binds the return key 
locally to 'reindent-then-newline-and-indent. Like so:

(add-hook 'julia-mode-hook
      (lambda ()
        (local-set-key [return] 'reindent-then-newline-and-indent)
))
