There actually is a way to modify the input lines just before they
 are parsed by luatex, but that is really only suitable for converting
 8-bit encodings to utf-8. (I was going to post an example abusing
 that method, but there are way many things that can go wrong, so I
 changed my mind)
Post it anyway.
We are all adults.
If you say so ...
% engine=luatex
\startluacode
   function add_ties (line) return line:gsub(' ','~') end
   \stopluacode
