That is actually a very interesting, but hard question to answer. Will
the MCU be doing anything else in between? What kind of I/O will the
resulting block be sent over? The AES core itself can be switched off
from power on a single cycle

What I have seen is projects where one of those devices are being used
to send data at about that rate (AES-CTR encrypted) powered by a small
cell battery with a lifespan of at least 8 years. It does very little in
between though. Rough calculation gives 420k events, but each message
generated by an event is larger than a single AES block.

One thing to note is that 8-bit MCUs are commonly manufactured in older
chip processes with bigger transistors and power hungry I/Os, less power
modes than these newer ARM devices.
