You are welcome, thank you for the details!

There is still one thing you can try. There is a hook available to modify the plugin HTML output. In theory if that would be minified, then the br/p tags will not be appended.

Try adding this code to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

add_filter( 'asp_shortcode_output', 'asp_minify_shortcode_output', 10, 1 );
function asp_minify_shortcode_output( $output ) {
    $search = array(
        '/\>[^\S ]+/s',
        '/[^\S ]+\</s',
        '/(\s)+/s',
        '/<!--(.|\s)*?-->/'
    );
    $replace = array(
        '>',
        '<',
        '\\1',
        ''
    );
    return preg_replace($search, $replace, $output);
}

If all goes well, the line break will disappear.
