Question: Are there any cross-platform matrix clients which prevents any messages from being sent/received that are not end-to-end encrypted?

I really like the idea of Matrix, but--as a general rule--I don't use communication platforms that allow for unencrypted messages to be sent. The risk for accidental user-error is too great, especially if rolled-out to non-technical users. IMHO, it's just better to have users install apps that cannot, under any circumstances, transmit messages that are not end-to-end encrypted.

So, I'm wondering if there is an app for Matrix available that simply doesn't allow users to send or receive messages that are not end-to-end encrypted. Note: I'm not looking for a user-configurable option to enable/disable this. I want it to entirely block the possibility for messages to be sent or received if they are not going to be end-to-end encrypted.

Do any such apps exist? Ideally ones for all of Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, and iPhone?

Afaik not yet but it's difficult to use unencrypted chats in matrix clients
