Here are a few ideas.

1. Reposition the noteheads:

tenorPart = {
  \voiceOne
  r2 e'8
    \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #0
    c'4. ~ |
  c'4. r8 f'2 |
}

leadPart = {
  \voiceTwo
  e'2 c'2 |
  \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #2.3
  d'2 a2 |
}

2. Change the vertical position of the tie:

tenorPart = {
  \voiceOne
  r2 e'8
    \once \override Tie.staff-position = #3.5
    c'4. ~ |
  c'4. r8 f'2 |
}

leadPart = {
  \voiceTwo
  e'2 c'2 |
  d'2 a2 |
}

3. Increase the potential height of the tie:

tenorPart = {
  \voiceOne
  r2 e'8
    \once \override Tie.details.height-limit = #2
    c'4. ~ |
  c'4. r8 f'2 |
}

leadPart = {
  \voiceTwo
  e'2 c'2 |
  d'2 a2 |
}

Take your pick.

HTH,
Abraham
