OOPS!

I can imagine some reasons to the problem related to speakup.
1. Do you have some kind of sound in your machine?
You can try to login in your machine and then press the down arrow key. 
You should hear some beep, unless the volume is muted.

2. Are the modules related to speakup loaded?
You can try boot from your install media and check if you have a file 
called /etc/modules-load.d/speakup.conf. The file must be present in the 
partition where your system is installed.
The content of the file must be:
speakup
speakup_soft

3. Do you know if espeakup.service is enabled?
You can try start it manually using the following command:
sudo systemctl start espeakup.service

4. Do you have a file called asound.state in /var/lib/alsa?

This is what I can imagine for while.
No ideas about brltty.
