Try configuring the suspend process so that it unloads all of the Speakup modules before suspending, and loads them again when it resumes. I don't know how this is done with Systemd nowadays, but it has always been possible to write scripts that unload modules before a machine is suspended. Your message isn't totally clear: I'm assuming that when the system resumes, audio is fine, Speech-Dispatcher works, but Speakup doesn't. If that's the case, it's the Speakup modules you want to unload/restart. Otherwise, if it's audio related then that's a different kind of issue.
