I recommend consulting the flooring manufacturer, however, my experience suggests that the application you describe is an acceptable risk. Adhesion of floor tile to grout is more important than the grout's adhesion to the painted concrete substrate. Uniform stability is very important, and you have that with your painted concrete slab.
