That additional space is called "first indentation" in TeXmacs. You
can set it with the menu item "Document->Paragraph->Margins->First
indentation...". In your case, you want to set it to 0 (zero).

You may also want to insert some additional space between paragraphs.
You may use the menu item "Document->Paragraph->Spacing->Inteparagraph
space..." and give 0.66666fn.

One elegant way to do that is to create a package (be sure to set its
style to "none") which set these two variables, and use that package
in addition to your style in your document. You may copy the relevant
assignations from the generic.ts style file.

M-Enter is not what you want to use. It only inserts a line break
inside a paragraph but, structurally, it does not create a new
paragraph.
