I don't think so.

It only re-encrypts entries which are tagged :crypt: (or whatever you
have `org-crypt-tag-matcher' set to), so I'd prefer users to be "forced"
to at least read the docstring so as not to be using it with a false
sense of security.

Though this could be easily solved by automatically tagging entries upon
encryption, I think it's more "considerate" to simply (ask to) disable
`auto-save-mode' for the current buffer, as it's quite annoying to have
an entry get re-encrypted while you're in the middle of typing something.
