The readwrite user (not the admin) would need to issue ALTER DEFAULT
PRIVILEGES granting that.

It says "dbreadonly" instead of "readonly".  Just a typo or a different role?

Sorry it is a typo in the email. My readonly role is dbreadonly. It works well so far except no access to new tables created by read write role. It has access to new tables created by admin role.

I granted dbreadonly as the following:

-- Read-only role
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE mydatabase TO dbreadonly;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO dbreadonly;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO dbreadonly;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA public TO dbreadonly;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO dbreadonly;

I tried. seems pg_read_all_data really means "read all data no matter what".
so you cannot grant pg_read_all_data then revoke certain schema privileges.

begin;
    create user my_user login;
    GRANT pg_read_all_data TO my_user;
    create schema a;
    create schema b;
    create table a.a as select 1;
    create table b.b as select 2;
    revoke all PRIVILEGES on schema a, b from my_user CASCADE;
    -- revoke all PRIVILEGES on schema a from my_user CASCADE;
    revoke all PRIVILEGES on all tables in schema a,b from my_user CASCADE;
    set role my_user;
    table a.a;
    table b.b;
rollback;

This is implied by:

    "You can change default privileges only for objects that will be
     created by yourself or by roles that you are a member of."
