It works like this by design.
You can't change the format of the composition. All you're doing is changing the *delivery format*. You can chose to deliver your HTML composition as plain text.
Vice versa it is not possible to start a plaintext composition and upgrade it to HTML.
We know that the UI is unfortunate, removing the HTML toolbar but not downgrading the composition is confusing.

Summary: Change from HTML to plain text mail not reflected → Downgrade HTML composition to plain text (and upgrade plain text to HTML)
That means, the message will be reduced to plain text, when it is sent out (you will see the result in Sent folder), but it is not displayed as plain text immediately when you toggle the format. On the other hand, you can toggle back to HTML so it should not loose your formatting immediatelly (at least not without a big fat question).
