MQTT plug switching off randomly

Configuration

Hi
Trying to sort out MQTT switch that keeps turning off. Its a Medion smart plug with Tasmota 8.2.0.6 loaded, setoption19 on and this randomly triggers power off:

I note that setoption19 on is not swapping prefix and topic in tasmota? Is this normal?

Is this faulty hardware or faulty config? This device is cheap and nasty.

Thanks

‘Breaking’ change in Tasmota 8.2

What are your retain setings (in tasmota and HA) ?

Thanks for your help.
Originally I had the following:

#mqtt:
#  broker: 192.168.0.17
#  port: 1883
#  username: !secret mqtt_username
#  password: !secret mqtt_password
#  discovery: true
#  discovery_prefix: homeassistant

and

#    retain: false

in several MQTT switch yaml settings but now commented out due to discovery and new Integration.

I’ve tried the following commands in the Medion console but no change, still turning itself off randomly:

switchretain off
buttonretain on
buttonretain off
poweronstate 3
powerretain on

Thanks
Rob

Seems to have something to do with Button1 multi-press 1?
