I've been seeing comments about mailing lists. They usually want plaint text emails like these.

Tuta

Notice: Use of IMAP and SMTP, open standards for email clients, is not possible with Tuta. This is not acceptable behavior for an email provider and use of Tuta is strongly recommended against for this reason. Tuta's stated reasons for not supporting these protocols are lies and you would be well served by closing your account there.

Well that's a strong opinion. And yes, 100%, IMAP is not a end to end encrypted protocol so how can they offer it when the server can't read the data?

To be fair, these folks are advocating for plain text emails, not surprising they are against encrypted emails.

How does that even relate?

Mail encryption has nothing to do with how the mail is formatted (html vs plain text). And the client protocol for fetching the mail from the server also has nothing to do with that.
