Do you stop the sound between the m and the t, despite the lack of a p, or do you keep the sound going the whole way through, softening the t a bit?

Latter. But then, I went through enough theater and music to think about this kind of enunciation because t-sounds are one of the subtle trip-ups of an English accent.

“I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
Speaking naturally, it's less "SUMP-ter" than "SUM-(p)ter," if that makes any sense. The release of the
t
winds up being labialised.
