This is an issue not of AnySoftKeyboard (ASK), but of your SMS app. Apps can specify different kinds of text input fields, like passwort ones and also some without suggestions. If you are curious, you can go from the main screen of ASK to the three-dot-menu in the upper right corner > Finetuning > Developer tools. There you find different examples of input fields you can try out, and there is also one with inputType=textNoSuggestions. So if the developers of your SMS app decided to put for whatever reason this property on the text message field, ASK respects that and shows no suggestions. I have this issue too with a text file app. Maybe that's some privacy feature so that the words you type are not used to expand one's suggestion dictionary, who knows?
