Your impression happened in the past based on a condition that existed in the past, and thus the impressive thing is that he was always smiling. It might still be impressive, and he might still always be smiling, but the sentence is talking about the past and things that existed in the past, so that is the tense you need for both the event and its cause. you were impressed then because he was always smiling then.
