WYSIWYG field gets populated by another plugin

The Events Manager Plugin populates all my ACF WYSIWYG fields with its entire content.

I found out, that my function to remove empty tags around shortcodes causes this trouble:

function remove_empty_tags_around_shortcodes_acf_wysiwyg( $value ) {
    $tags = array(
      '<p>[' => '[',
      ']</p>' => ']',
      ']<br>' => ']',
      ']<br />' => ']'
  );

  $content = apply_filters('the_content',$value);
  $content = strtr($content, $tags);
  return $content;
}

add_filter('acf_the_content', 'remove_empty_tags_around_shortcodes_acf_wysiwyg', 10, 1);

I’d really like to keep this filter, it works fine. But how can I prevent the conflict with the other plugin populating all my WYSIWYG fields?
