Here is the config code:

paste_preprocess : function(pl, o) {
  alert('pasteprocess startet');
  o.content = strip_tags(o.content,'');
  //o.content = strip_tags(o.content,'<b><u><i><p><br><img>'); // use this i.e. to keep some tags
  alert('pasteprocess ended - function strip_tags found and used');
},

Here is the function used (taken from here)

function strip_tags (str, allowed_tags) {

    var key = '', allowed = false;
    var matches = [];    var allowed_array = [];
    var allowed_tag = '';
    var i = 0;
    var k = '';
    var html = ''; 
    var replacer = function (search, replace, str) {
        return str.split(search).join(replace);
    };
     // Build allowes tags associative array
    if (allowed_tags) {
        allowed_array = allowed_tags.match(/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/gi);
    }
     str += '';

    // Match tags
    matches = str.match(/(<\/?[\S][^>]*>)/gi);
     // Go through all HTML tags
    for (key in matches) {
        if (isNaN(key)) {
            // IE7 Hack
            continue;        }

        // Save HTML tag
        html = matches[key].toString();
         // Is tag not in allowed list? Remove from str!
        allowed = false;

        // Go through all allowed tags
        for (k in allowed_array) {            // Init
            allowed_tag = allowed_array[k];
            i = -1;

            if (i != 0) { i = html.toLowerCase().indexOf('<'+allowed_tag+'>');}            if (i != 0) { i = html.toLowerCase().indexOf('<'+allowed_tag+' ');}
            if (i != 0) { i = html.toLowerCase().indexOf('</'+allowed_tag)   ;}

            // Determine
            if (i == 0) {                allowed = true;
                break;
            }
        }
         if (!allowed) {
            str = replacer(html, "", str); // Custom replace. No regexing

}

EDIT: set paste_auto_cleanup_on_paste to true and it will work (checked your config in my system)
