There is no plugin for what you want. What you should do it edit the ePub in the Calibre editor.

While some books, maybe most, will have reasonably consistent header coding when you get them, a lot won't. Especially older books. If a book has 20 chapters and 5 different arbitrary codings for the chapter titles, there is just no way to automate what you want.

It's easy to develop a css for your desired chapter heading style. Take your book, copy that code into the css in the editor, and search and replace whatever is in the book to make it your new style. If the book is consistent, it's only one search. If not, you have to look at every chapter start and do a search to replace whatever is there until you catch them all. Then update the TOC with the TOC editor.

Sounds complicated, but with practice you will be able to do this for most books in just a couple of minutes. If you are going to spend 5 or more hours reading a book, it's a very small investment of time.

It's so easy, and the results are so good, I don't even let Calibre do any chapter detection when I convert. It's easier to to do it this way than correct the mess Calibre might create doing the conversion.
