One has a very general statement in this direction:

For any reduced ring $A$ there exist abelian groups $G$ of arbitrarily large cardinalities such that
$$A\cong\mathop{\rm End}(G)$$

In particular if you need $\mathop{\rm Aut}(G)$ to be cyclic then you take $A$ such that the units of $A$ form a cylic group (e.g. $A=\mathbb{Z}$). Even more generally, you can replace abelian groups with $R$-modules, where $R$ is any commutative, cotorsion-free ring. Then you obtain $A$ - any cotorsion-free $R$-algebra. 

You fill find various constructions of such groups in Goebel and Trlifaj "Approximations and Endomorphism Algebras of Modules" (2006 and much expanded edition 2012).

*reduced above means no nontrivial homomorphisms of the underlying groups: $\mathbb{Q}\to A$.*
