For anyone still experiencing this problem, make absolutely sure you are not running script or ad blocking extensions of any kind of the settings page where the toggle is on minecraft.net. It seems this can cause the toggle to appear like it's working, but the commands are not sent to get the swear filter disabled in-game. This solved the problem for me.
I feel like this is avoidable and it's very stupid that this has to be toggled on the website. There needs to be better in-game interfaces for things that impact the game. It is NOT obvious at all to think to check script blocking on your browser for things happening in-game.
