The DTMF receiver, at the other end of the wires, will look only at the
signal difference between tip and ring.

As long as you couple your signal onto one of the wires without disturbing
the (noise) signal that may be on the other then the DTMF receiver will work
properly (as long as the amplitude, twist, and distortion products are
within spec). In practice, this is difficult to achieve while driving only
one of the two wires.

Normally, any voice or DTMF signal that is applied to a telephone line is
done so in a differential manner. That is, an equal (in amplitude) but
opposite (in phase) signal is applied between the two wires. The receiving
end will pick up the difference signal and (hopefully) ignore any signal
which is equal in amplitude and phase.

The out-of-phase part of the signal is referred to as the differential (or
metallic) component.
The in-phase part of the signal (with respect to earth or signal common) is
referred to as the common-mode (or longitudinal) component.
