Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Enable devtools and the rich text editor
2. Mention someone in a chat
3. Check the Matrix event that was sent

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

An event that has a plaintext and a formatted body. That's how it looks for non-RTE:

```
"content": {
"msgtype": "m.text",
"body": "tadzik: hi",
"format": "org.matrix.custom.html",
"formatted_body": "tadzik: hi",
"m.mentions": {
"user_ids": [
"@irc_tadzik:home.tadzik.net"
]
}
},
```

#### What happened instead?

The event sent contains HTML in both `body` and `formatted_body`:

```
{
"msgtype": "m.text",
"body": "tadzik hi",
"format": "org.matrix.custom.html",
"formatted_body": "tadzik hi"
}
```
