The XSLT 2.0 solution (untested) is:

<xsl:for-each-group select="e1" group-by=".">
  <e1 name="{.}">
    <xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()" group-by="@att">
      <xsl:value-of select="concat(@att, ' ')"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </e1>
</xsl:for-each>

You could also use distinct-values().

I don't understand your comment that you can't use keys because there
are 1200 lines?
