Description
### Steps to reproduce
Despite having broken both of my actual accounts in the same way, I can't reproduce this now on a test account:
1. Switch "Messages containing my display name" from Noisy to Off
2. Test it out for a bit, and realize that this breaks mentions
3. Switch it back to Noisy
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
To resume the default behavior of being highlighted and pinged on any mentions
#### What happened instead?
I now receive highlights and pings on mentions in unencrypted rooms, but not in encrypted rooms.
For reference, here are my notification settings:

### Operating system
NixOS unstable
### Browser information
Firefox 99.0.1
### URL for webapp
develop.element.io

### Homeserver
Synapse 1.57.0
### Will you send logs?
No
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the notification-setting transition in an encrypted room and compare mention behavior with an unencrypted room. Done means restoring “Messages containing my display name” to Noisy makes mentions highlight and play a sound in encrypted rooms as well.
