taking the log on both sides may help
note e is not eulers number
you have to take E for eulers number
y == U * e^(a * t) // Log /@ # &
% // PowerExpand
% // Solve[{# /. {t -> t1, y -> y1}, # /. {t -> t2, y -> y2}}, {U, a}] &
Out[57]=
Log[y] == Log[e^(a*t)*U]
Out[58]=
Log[y] == a*t*Log[e] + Log[U]
Out[59]=
{{a -> (-Log[y1] + Log[y2])/((-t1 + t2)*Log[e]),
U -> E^(((-t2)*Log[y1] + t1*Log[y2])/(t1 - t2))}}
