I don't know what a TTS engine is, so Rudy may wish to defer to Theo.

All I know is when I wanted Android e-readers to read to me, I installed
epub apps that said in the description that they had TTS inside of them.

CoolReader, with Text to Speech (TTS) support.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.coolreader
http://sourceforge.net/projects/crengine/

Book Reader with TTS support
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.axet.bookreader/

I also used this TTS engine to dictate anything.

I'll try RHVoice and if Rudy tries it, that will be two of us.
https://rhvoice.org/ and https://rhvoice.com/android_support
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.olga_yakovleva.rhvoice.android/

Likewise with espeak
