Steps to reproduce:

I connected to some IRC channel at irc.oftc.net and want to use OTR with some
users.
In the config editor, chat.otr.enable is set to true.
Command is shown in the chat window: ?OTRv2?

I use Thunderbird on Debian testing (Trixie), and libotr is installed:
libotr5/testing 4.1.1-5 amd64 [installed,automatic]

Actual results:

xxx@irc.oftc.net has requested an Off-the-Record (OTR) encrypted conversation.
However, you do not have a plugin to support that.

Expected results:

OTR should have been used.
