Description
When I enable the following smb option in smb.conf, Material Files makes me connect, but doesn't show any file, nor allows me to create any.
server smb encrypt = required
Here the screen of what I see when the when enabled:
Here the screen of what I see when the when I remove that line and restart the server:
And of course lets me to read and write files.
I think the issue is with Material Files, because I tried to access from Dolphin (debian) with success, but any other android applications didn't work.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the connection in Material Files with server smb encrypt = required, then compare it with the same share when encryption is disabled and with the reported working desktop client. Trace the SMB connection and shared-folder listing behavior to identify why an encrypted share appears empty. Done means encrypted shares can be browsed and support the same read/write operations as unencrypted shares.
