That's odd: when I look at some of the AT content types code
using rich 
widget it looks very different. e.g.

    TextField('text',
              required=True,
              searchable=True,
              primary=True,
              storage = AnnotationStorage(migrate=True),
              validators = ('isTidyHtmlWithCleanup',),
              #validators = ('isTidyHtml',),
              default_content_type =
zconf.ATDocument.default_content_type,
              default_output_type = 'text/x-html-safe',
              allowable_content_types = 
zconf.ATDocument.allowed_content_types,
              widget = RichWidget(
                        description = "",
                        description_msgid =
"help_body_text",
                        label = "Body Text",
                        label_msgid =
"label_body_text",
                        rows = 25,
                        i18n_domain = "plone",
                        allow_file_upload = 
zconf.ATDocument.allow_document_upload)),

Anyway, what you are missing is that you haven't fully
specified everything 
you need for that field. In particular you are using the
default for 
allowable_content_types which is plain text. Ask for plain
text and you get 
a plain text editor. I suggest that at the very least you
specify all of 
default_content_type, default_output_type and
allowable_content_types.
