FYI and ever since the initial release of Monterey 12.0.1 the below setup will Block and Move to Junk Folder but does not move to Trash .

As pervious posting suggested creating a Special Rule to Move to Trash

But even that will not release the necessity of the User to Empty the Trash versus the Empty Junk as per Third Image below
