I'm thinking the createReadStream is your issue because its async. try this. Since createReadStream extends the event emitter, we can "listen" for when it finishes/ends.

var newFile = fs.createReadStream(file.path);

// personally I'd function out the inner body here and just call 
// to the function and pass in the newFile
newFile.on('end', function() {
  const form_data = new FormData();
  form_data.append("file", newFile);
  const request_config = {
    method: "post",
    url: url,
    headers: {
        "Authorization": "Bearer " + access_token,
        "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data"
    },
    data: form_data
  };
  return axios(request_config);
});
