Hello!
I want the editor to automatically insert spaces before and after
symbols when I press enter and for this purpose I configured relevant
options in Codetools->Space (see the screenshot attached). The preview
shows exactly what I want, but there is no such effect when I come to
use the editor. Any thoughts?

Those settings only act on code completion.

That is.
- (Afaik) identifier completion (after dot, or ctrl-space), if this
leads to symbols like := being added
- local variable creation. shift-ctrl-c
- procedure creation. shift-ctrl-c on methods in interface.
- code generated by creating events from object inspector


There also is Jedi code formatter... But I don't use it, so I can't
help with that.
