The Titan was indeed corrupted and was indeed reeking of the warp. But Eisenhorn also mentioned its sentience and its memories, which extended from even before the Horus Heresy. The thing was tainted by Chaos, but it also had its own psychic powers that overwhelmed Eisenhorn's untouchable.
It didn't mention that he was out to destroy any daemons in the Titan. The Titan was no more daemonically possessed than a human or a powerful psyker fallen to the warp.
Still, damn man. Titans.

You are an endless supply of morale down here. :p - an OWS street medic Pink Sugar Heart Attack!
Eisenhorn's sword also appears to be semi-sentient. It communicates things to him, and sometimes seems to move of its own will. It's probably the psychic traces from myriads of users over many, many centuries that have congealed into a sort of benevolent warp spirit. So even a glorified sharpened metal stick may need to be treated with respect by its users.

I mean, shit, they're a goddamn single star cluster that's barely a footnote compared with every single other power in the galaxy, and their tech is on the same level as the Imperium's. I still don't understand why they matter enough to even be mentioned as one of the players in the 40k setting.
Like the Empire of the Rising Sun in Red Alert 3 it is just an attempt by Gamesworkshop to get in on the Japanophile dollar.

Actually, I think the Titan was REALLY possessed by Chaos, all Chaos Titans when corrupted generally have a Daemon in the drivers seat. Hence why Eisenhorn was using an untouchable to try and kill it. Its just that the Daemon was too powerful and it blasted her to hell.
Cruor Vult doesn't appear to have a daemon actually in primary control, stuff like Banelords and Abominatus are basically daemons who happen to be possessing a titan, but as the Titan comics show, there are titans which are basically just gribbly chaos looking versions of Imperial warmachines, they might have some disgusting tentacle beast for an autoloader, or fleshy pseudo-metal muscles instead of electrically motivated fibre bundles, but there is still a bloke in control, not a ravening warp entity, hence them getting boarded by the enemy titan crew and the enemy "princeps" having the implants to control Dictatio.
Plus, Eisenhorn seems to feel that the chap they are chasing is the one in the drivers seat.

Have the Tau actually had to deal with the Chaos Space Marines? I can't recall a time they had to.

If the firewarrior computer game and book are Canon then yes they have met Chaos Space Marines.
If there not I know that have fought Chaos, I remember something about thinking they had killed one of the Chaos God because they thought the champion leading the Chaos forces was Khorne because he kept shouting about him
They've battled Chaos in White Dwarf battle reports. Some kroot devoured the remains and went insane afterwords.
