I tried a similar setup with Emacs 29 (21b2954c) and cannot reproduce
your issue.

Contents of ~/.authinfo:

  machine irc.libera.chat user mynick password mypass

From emacs -Q:

  M-: (erc-tls :server "irc.libera.chat" :port 6697 :nick "mynick") RET

Please try again from emacs -Q, maybe with a temporary ~/.authsource
(with and without the .gpg). And when reporting back, please mention the
contents of the relevant buffers, if any. And maybe also eval

  (require 'erc)
  (erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol)

prior to connecting, and then check the *erc-protocol* buffer for clues
afterwards. Be sure to restart Emacs whenever you tweak ~/.authsource to
ensure you're not hitting the cache. And if you haven't already, see the
suggestions in the troubleshooting portion of the manual [1].

Thanks,
J.P.

P.S. In an effort to spare the good people of this list from excessive
ERC chatter, perhaps consider replacing the help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org with
emacs-erc@gnu.org in the Cc of any further related correspondences.
