Only as chi, the closed vowels Ê and Ô when unestressed became I and U (in mostly dialects, and if it has this diacrict above it's stressed for sure), so te will never be pronounced as che
Tomate is pronounced tumachi
cateto is pronounced catetu, because the TE is stressed in this word

olá, depende da região. Em algumas regiões pronunciamos ti e te em outras pronunciamos chi e che, mas soa como tchi e tchê.

mente = menchi
monte = monchi

generally we saying only the ""tchi"" sounds even to "te"

In Brazil, yes. But in Portugal (I'm from Portugal), we say "Ti" and "Te" the way we read it.
