use a DC-Workflow that you configure for your needs. you could 
set the initial state to "published" so you wouldn't need to do it.

another way is to use a Scriptable-Type-info, where you have
control over the Object-creation through a script and there
you could write

context.doActionFor(ob,'publish',comment='published automatically')

after the object is created and refetched from the container.

hope this helps
