Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use services like SmsMatrix (Android app which forwards SMS to Matrix) or IRC bridges. Unfortunately the chat.privacytools.io server forces e2e encryption in private rooms and there is no way to disable this, rendering these services useless. I can't communicate with bots or bridged private rooms because they don't support e2ee.

Describe the solution you'd like
End to End encryption should be enabled by default, but not forced. In 90% you would want it, but there are also some important cases where you need an unenceypted private chat.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only other alternative would be that all bridges and bots support e2ee, which is simpy not the case today

Please consider turning the forced e2ee off.
