Why does my phone want a decryption password for unencrypted SD cards?

A couple of weeks ago my phone (a ZTE force with Android 4.1.2), would no longer unlock my encrypted SD card. Presumably it had become corrupted. Since then I have not been able to mount an SD card in the phone. Any time I insert an SD card I get the notification "SD card was encrypted" and the phone requests that I enter the encryption password.

I have formatted the card in a computer (to both FAT16 and FAT32 and tried a new unformatted card. I then performed multiple factory resets of the phone, both from the settings menu and doing a 'hard' reset.

After trying all that I still cannot mount an SD card. Any idea what I can do to mount an SD card so I can continue to use my phone?
