Description
### Is this a regression?
- [ ] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version
### The previous version in which this bug was not present was
_No response_
### Description
When creating a mat autocomplete with chips the selectedOption event is not fired if the input associated with the chip-list has the [matChipInputAddOnBlur] property set as true and has a value typed in.
if you set the matChipInputAddOnBlur to false it will work perfectly, but I also need it to fire on blur to validate or insert the inputted value.
### Reproduction
Steps to reproduce:
1. visit https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-rmuzjg-t8dcn6?file=src/app/chips-autocomplete-example.ts
2. type "a" into the input
3. click orange (or any other option except apple)
there is a console.log('selected') in the function associated with the (optionSelected) event, it won't be fired.
### Expected Behavior
The option clicked (orange) should be added to the chips.
The autocomplete's optionSelected event should be fired.
### Actual Behavior
a chip with the value inputted is added to the chips but the option clicked is not.
the autocomplete's optionSelected event is not fired.
### Environment
- Angular:
- CDK/Material:
- Browser(s):
- Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu):

Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and trace the interaction between the chip input's matChipInputAddOnBlur behavior and the autocomplete optionSelected event. Verify the case where text is entered and orange is clicked, then confirm that the clicked option is added and optionSelected fires while the typed value is handled as expected.
