AFAIK you have to load the files,  
set the tag options to write ID3V2.3 tags

> [@Preferences and Configuration](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/preferences-and-configuration/56296#tag-types-7):

> You can configure many areas of Mp3tag via the preferences window at Mp3tag → Preferences… or ⌘ , General Startup Folder Here you can specify the startup behavior of Mp3tag. None starts with an empty File List. Previous starts with the folder which was loaded the last time you’ve used Mp3tag. Other… lets you choose a explicit folder that is loaded on startup. Genres Use standard genres If enabled, Mp3tag lists the standard genres in the genre field on the Tag Pane…

select the files  
and save the tags again, e.g. with  
⌘ S Save  
If you have a column that shows `_TAG` then that should change to V2.3
