I've heard both used. Although 'propose a toast' is the more traditional and more formal term for it.
Technically 'propose' and 'offer' have different meanings, but in context of this phrase, they would mean basically the same thing: someone is announcing that they would like to start a toast and perhaps make a small speech.
