Here's a Youtube video showing a Star Wars commercial pronouncing it "At-At", if that helps you any. :)

The first one.
Aay Tea Aay Tea.

AT-ST is Aay Tea Ess Tea, AT-PT is Aay Tea Pea Tea, and AT-TE is Aay Tea Tea Eeeh.
Source(s):
Voiceover artist from the Star Wars: Rebel Strike video game, plus inferences. The video game said AT-ST, and I interpreted the others from there.

Thanks for the answer - do you have any first hand proof of this particular pronunciation? I see that you reference AT-ST, but wanted to clarify the answer we are looking should be related to the AT-AT.

It's both... Initially it was called an @@. With the addition of the other imperial transport units that were not easily spoken like the ATAT, you had to pronounce the letters.

First hand proof? My middle name is "Star Wars"...

Saw the original in '77... then saw it 24 more times in the theater after May.

As separate letters. You hear it when the Empire invades Hoth in the Empire Strikes Back.

It appears that they do not say either in this scene:
