Maybe you can add more—what does this mean "it comes up automatically"...?

Open mail app select Mail>Preferences>Privacy  disable:

• “Protect Mail Activity” / 
• “Hide IP address” / 
• “Block all remote content”

Disable Hide My Email - Apple Community

Hide My Email is not blocking use of your email. Something else is doing that. Since it cannot find an email address to use, the only suggestion it can provide is Hide My Email. Turning off Hide My Email won’t magically restore the other suggestions. They should be there along with Hide My Email.

Nobody here would know why Apple does anything.

However, it isn’t Hide My Email stopping the suggestions of your own email addresses. Something else is causing the lack of options. It could be that particular website. Has it worked on that website in the past? What is the URL to the website? Is autofill for contact information still set in Safari Preferences, Autofill tab?

Hmmm. There is on mine. Mine's already off.

You can't "remove" it. You can only disable it. Uncheck "Hide My Mail" in System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud.

Sorry, click Options > Turn Off.
