When the bot sends a message, the message.upsert event is also called, which causes the loop. Try adding some verification to the message before returning a reply.

    })
    sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async m => {
     if(m.type === "notify") {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(m, undefined, 2))
        if(!m.messages[0].key.fromMe) {
            console.log('replying to', m.messages[0].key.remoteJid)

            await sock.sendMessage('mynumber@s.whatsapp.net', {
                 text: 'hello test'
             })
           }
        }
    })
}
// run in main file
connectToWhatsApp()

The addition of the conditions m.type === "notify" and !m.messages[0].key.fromMe seems to ensure that the function will only respond to new messages that were not sent by the bot itself.
