I think you're wanting something that's not possible. Not very
desirable, for that matter.
The repl buffer is a nice tool for communicating with a running
clojure, so it binds Enter to slime-repl-return, which evaluates the
current input string. clojure-mode is meant for editing clojure code,
so it binds Enter to newline-and-indent-relative, to make it easy to
type the next line in your clojure program. Turning on clojure-mode in
the repl rebinds Enter (and probably other things), thus breaking them
in the repl.
While you could write a mode that did what you want, I don't think
anyone has done it yet. The issue is that code you edit in the repl
isn't saved anywhere if the repl exits. Normally, you create a file
for your clojure code, and edit that in clojure mode. That gives you
commands to send functions (and etc.) to the repl so you can test
them.
