this feature is built in into NetworkManager as far as I understand.
You should be able to setup a connection profile for LTE that is
configured to automatically connect and as a "secondaries" setting you
should be able to specify the UUID of a VPN profie that is
automatically connected when the LTE profile is active.
https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/unstable/nm-settings.html
is the reference I looked into for these settings.

Kind regards
