The Telegram Documentation gives the following description:

You can’t send messages in this chat, you were restricted.

In such cases, you should check:

  • is the chat blocked by Telegram itself
  • chat bot rights

If everything is in order, then you can try switching connected bots in the web interface: switch to the system bot @TelepostBot, and then return back to a custom bot (or vice versa if you have a system bot by default).

It is recommended to use your own custom bot, how to connect it — read in this instruction.
