It does not work.  Yes, misspelt words are not marked.

It happens in plain text files, where the status bar reports "Plain text"

In the .tm_properties I have:

[text]
spellChecking = 1
spellLanguage = en_GB

["*.tex"]
spellChecking = 1
spellLanguage = en_GB

["*.txt"]
fileType = text
spellChecking = 1
spellLanguage = en_GB

If I change the grammar to LaTeX, then misspelt words are indicated, and if I change the grammar back to plain text then spell checking seems to continue to work. However, if I open the file again then it does not work

I think this should check the current content of the document.

All the best
