Apparently the answer is no, not every connected Hausdorff Banach manifold is regular, not even when it is modeled on a separable Hilbert space.

I quote (verbatim) from J. Margalef-Roig, E. Outerelo-Dominguez, Differential Topology, North Holland Mathematics Studies 173, 1992, page 44f.

It is well known the result of General Topology that every Hausdorff locally compact topological space satisfies the Tychonoff axiom [M-O-P, V.2, pg. 231]. By this and the Riesz's theorem every Hausdorff locally finite dimensional differentiable manifold satisfies the Tychonoff axiom. This last affirmation is not true for arbitrary Hausdorff differentiable manifolds. In [M.0O.1] there is an example of a Hausdorff connected differentiable manifold $X$ of class $\infty$, such that $\partial X = \emptyset$, $X$ is not regular and $X$ admits an atlas whose charts are modelled over an infinite dimensional separable real Hilbert space.

They continue to add the regularity hypothesis in their results whenever it is needed.

Edit: As was pointed out by Benjamin Dickman in the comments, the example also appears in English in A. Kriegl, P.W. Michor, The convenient setting of global analysis, AMS (1997), 27.6 Non-regular manifold, page 266. The book is available as a pdf file on Kriegl's homepage.
