I see no bold in that. It is just a text document. But it has multiple //textmarked// lines. That might cause issues when TT.txt is imported into something.

Paste into MS Word (or LO Writer, but use native save in odt). Save or Save As a copy in docx AFTER fixing headings and paragraph styles.
Then use Calibre to convert the docx to an epub.

Never load plain text direct to an ereader, but use epub (or convert epub to mobi, dual mobi or azw3 for a kindle). The renderer in the ereader must be interpreting something as a command to do bold.

I opened your TT.txt in Linux xed (similar thing to Windows Notepad). No bold.
I opened it in the WINE version of Windows Notepad. No Bold.

I've NEVER had bold show up in any plain text editor on Windows (All verssions from 3.0 to 10 except win8), Mac OS9, Linux, Xenix, CP/M, MSDOS, or Android.

I put the document in Word 2003 (on WINE) and LO Writer 6.x. No Bold.

So conclusion is that you are copying plain text to an ereader. Just don't! Make an epub using Calibre. Best from a docx (never edit a docx in LO Writer, only extra Save As).

I loaded the TT.txt directly into Calibre and made an epub. I did get this at the end

Calibre converted the bold line into a <h2>11 Jan 2021</h2>
A heading style, which will be bold.

My guess is that your ereader is recognising some lines as headings and thus automagically doing bold.

SOLUTION
Do not ever copy plain text to an ereader. Paste the web pages into LO Writer, save in "odt", fix styles & headings, or make all plaln text. Extra Save As in docx and convert to epub using Calibre.

You can use MS Word instead.
You can use Sigil instead of Calibre.

The ebook export plugins for Word and Writer are inferior to Calibre or Sigil.
