MTP required to use G.729 and RFC 2833 over a SIP trunk?

I have a CUCM 7.0 cluster with a SIP trunk to a 2811 CME router.   When I switch the codec in CME to G.729 I lose DTMF functionality.  I noticed in the SIP message traces that CUCM doesn't attempt to negotiate RFC 2833 (telephony-event in the sdp) anywhere to any endpoints (SIP trunk or not).   I've seen some resources and documentation which imply that an MTP may be required to enable RFC 2833 and I can see CUCM failing to allocate an MTP in the trace logs.

Here's my router mgcp and sccp configuration:

mgcp
mgcp call-agent 10.0.20.60 2427 service-type mgcp version 0.1
mgcp dtmf-relay voip codec all mode nte-ca

Here's a show sccp showing that they've been successfully registered (and I can also see them being tried in the trace files):

Here's the dial-peer configuration for CME:

Curiously, I don't see any meaningful counters being hit when I try to call and the MTP is queried for capabilities:

Any help getting DTMF working with G.729 over this SIP trunk would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like my MTP selection is failing here:

The caps for the MTP are listed as "4 257", but the caps for the VB10K region (the region with the SIP trunk) are only "4".  The other region, "Houston", has many more caps, including the 257 that I apparently need.  How does CUCM determine these caps?

CUCM will need to invoke an MTP on SIP trunk calls with RTP-NTE, unless the other endpoint can support RTP-NTE.  Most IP phones support RTP-NTE, so the RTP-NTE can go directly to the phone without an MTP for those scenarios. When the call goes to something like an H323 trunk, or something else which can't terminate RTP-NTE, then CUCM will invoke the MTP to pull the DTMF out of the media path and put it in the signaling path.

In the MRGL on the SIP trunk, you should make sure that the first MRG in the MRGL only contains g.729 IOS software MTPs.  Make sure there aren't any transcoders or g711 MTPs in this MRG.  You can have a transcoder in the MRGL as long as it is in its own MRG and below the MTP MRG.  Ensure that you don't have any non-g729 MTPs in this device's MRGL at all, since you're doing g.729 on this trunk.

The call itself establishes when the parties answer, right?  Just making sure you don't have a codec mismatch anywhere.
