I'm fixed it with that changes...

Temp solution fix shader TMP_SDF.shader add soft mask into it

1) Add two params from soft mask on line 161

float _UIMaskSoftnessX;
float _UIMaskSoftnessY;

Replace line 227 with the next code.

output.mask = half4(vert.xy * 2 - clampedRect.xy - clampedRect.zw, 0.25 / (0.25 * half2(_UIMaskSoftnessX, _UIMaskSoftnessY) + pixelSize.xy));

Add soft mask in calculations

I see there are newer versions, but they are still pre-release. My editor version doesn't show these in the Package Manager even after I enabled pre-release packages, but that is a different issue.

Still having this issue while running editor 2021.2.6. The newest TMP version in Package Manager is still 3.0.6 from April 22, 2021, so before the comment of Stephan saying that it would be fixed in the next release. Does this mean that the next release is still pending? Any update on when this is released? Otherwise I'll have to try to find a different solution.

I will be adding support for the above in the next release of the TMP package. This will require an update of the Shaders included in the TMP Essential Resources.
