That is the expected behaviour. The “Path to your Login Page” option is used to override the default WordPress login path. It does that by hooking into the WordPress `login_url` filter.

It doesn’t remove the default login route at `/wp-login.php`, so you can still go directly to that URL by entering it into your browser’s address bar. Instead of going to `/wp-admin`, go to `/wp-login.php` to use the default login page.

I can think of a way that the plugin could be updated to only redirect to the “Path to your Login Page” path for logging into Discourse, but that change would take a bit of work.
