Check if those books (file copies on the Kindle itself, obviously) with MobiMetaEditor have "cdeType" value as EBOK or PDOC. And also that "ttsflag" you already mentioned.

If the value is PDOC try changing them to EBOK and transfer them to your Kindle via USB cable (prior to that remove the exist file for the same book from your Kindle) and then test TTS functionality.
So I have been transferring everything via USB, and they did have the value set as EBOK.
I installed an extension to caliber to create the KFX format books, and then replaced the DRM version of a book that I had downloaded from the Amazon Kindle store with a version of that same book which I have used the deDRM plug-in on to convert to MOBI and then convert back to KFX and it maintained the text-to-speech functionality.
What I'm thinking is that means is that they are using something external to the file itself to enable or disable text-to-speech.
