A mathematical theory consists of an axiomatic system and all its derived theorems.
An axiomatic system that is completely described is a special kind of formal system; usually though, the effort towards complete formalisation brings diminishing returns in certainty, and a lack of readability for humans.
A formal theory typically means an axiomatic system, for example formulated within model theory.
A formal proof is a complete rendition of a mathematical proof within a formal system.
