This happened many times in my world until I destroyed unmounted all level 4 locator maps that were not aligned to the map grid. (I thought I destroyed them, but there was one that did apparently not despawn yet.) As soon as I did that, all my portals worked flawlessly according to the 8:1 Overworld to Nether ratio. I hope this helps you troubleshoot the issue.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the beta. Imported the same world and entered a portal with a locator map equipped in the off-hand and (I reloaded and the map doesn't seem to matter) the issue came back going to the nether. Coming back sometimes works, but sometimes doesn't.
This happened more than 20 times before it was fixed, I have large graveyards of portals that I broke to try to unlink them. I guess I won't have to worry about getting obsidian for spare ender chests.
I'm on Windows 10 Bedrock Edition, Beta 1.17.10.21
This also happens on the UWP (Windows 10) Bedrock Beta 1.17.0.58. I have restarted my world a couple of times on UWP and even played and had the same issue on the Switch (non-beta) version. Sometimes I resort to only making a portal at 0,0 to try to avoid the issue, but then I can only have one nether portal. I have wasted many hours trekking back in the overworld from far flung areas of the map (1000's of blocks, no elytra) trying to get back to the area I was playing in.
Not only are portals to and from the nether now taking me to only unconverted coordinates, but when I took a new overworld portal to the nether, it dropped me off at my unconverted coordinates with no nether portal at all. Spending an hour tunneling back netted me 23 ancient debris, but not really what I wanted to do.
UPDATE: I exported my world, uninstalled and reinstalled the beta (Win 10 MCPE 1.17.10.22), travelled back to my base (I had swam over a 1000 blocks away exploring before exporting.) and all portals are working perfectly again. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the beta overwriting the normal installation weird or something, but reinstalling it worked for me.
