I would never want to require that a footnote be read to anyone,
thereby interrupting the text -- it is in the nature of a footnote to
be optional reading and to stand apart from the text. Any user should
have the option of reading/hearing it, or not.
But how would the user know that there is a footnote anchored to a
specific place?

By a variation on the way the screenreader tells them there is a link
anchored to a specific place. For example, an unobtrusive sound effect
at each footnote reference, and a command to read the last-encountered
footnote.
