1. (add-hook 'FOO-mode-hook (lambda () (outline-minor-mode 1)))

   where FOO-mode is the relevant major mode.

2. (add-hook 'find-file-hook (lambda () (outline-minor-mode 1)))
   (add-hook 'find-file-not-found-functions
             (lambda () (progn (outline-minor-mode 1) nil)))

3. Or try define-globalized-minor-mode.
