The plugin Format document on Save seems to to do what you ask:

Enables auto formatting of the code when you save a file. Visual Studio supports auto formatting of the code with the Ctrl + E , D or Ctrl + E , F key shortcuts but with this extension the command Format Document is executed on Save.

Since Visual Studio 2022 17.1 there is a builtin Feature to run code formatting on save (see devblogs.microsoft), meaning there is no need to install extensions like Format document on Save.
