When chatting in a Teams channel, 
Authenticator autofill attempts to try to enter in an address field as the default entry in the text field. I haven't noticed the same behavior in Teams IM chat, just within the channel.
I'm using a Samsung galaxy z fold 3 with latest updated software for OS and apps.

Does anyone else have the same problem in the same channel?
Does this phenomenon exist all the time? Or what do you do before happen?

As to previously, this is a new phone and I've only noticed the issue on it.

Not sure what you're asking. The app is installed. I did complete an Uninstall and reinstalled the app as well. Same issue.

Based on your image, the autofill app is Authenticator. So, I guess if it associates with Authenticator app which might be installed in your mobile.
Due to this problem only happens on the specific phone, it is suggested to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Teams and observe the results.

2021-11-03T10:24:41.253+00:00 I did complete an Uninstall. After installing Teams again, the issue remains. It still attempts to put an address within the Teams channel reply field.

2021-11-04T08:16:51.237+00:00 As I know, Microsoft Teams has no such autofill.
According to the image provided in your question, this problem seems to be related to Authenticator app(the following image is a screenshot of your picture). So, in order to determine if this is an Authenticator side problem, it is suggested to uninstall this app if it is installed in your Phone.
Meanwhile, to determine if this is a device side problem, it is recommended to test in other phone devices with the same account. Then, using other accounts to test in the problematic phone device. If this problem follows certain account, it should be an account side problem.

2021-11-05T10:48:22.103+00:00 The Uninstall and reinstall of Teams did not change behavior. Authenticator continues to treat a Teams Channel reply text field as an address field.

To further confirm the problem, it is recommended to test in other phone devices with the same account. Then, using other accounts to test in the problematic phone device. If this problem follows certain account, it should be an account side problem.
