I thought it was just a grout and realised too late that it was a combined adhesive/grout!!

encountered a similar situation, and found muriatic acid to work quite well. HOWEVER....... make sure vent van is on, window open, something to get air in and out of there ( fan). WEAR GLOVES, LONG GLOVES . If this is in a shower cover your drain no matter what you go with. Grouts and adhesives that are removed with any kind of method will wind up in the drain and as water passes through they will re harden and clog the drain

I agree with Rich Z... Certainly attack it gently. DO NOT use a chisel or stiff blade scraper and chip at the substance. You might also connect with the MFG. and ask if they have valid solutions in the form of dissolving agents.
Actually, while I totally empathis; I'm happy you submitted this Q. I'm remediating 11,000 sq. ft. of tile that was initially installed very poorly. I'll pick up a bag of that brand.
I do wish you well, and I'm sorry for the issue; for you.

Vinegar+baking soda mixed together like a paste will get the soap scum off. I started cleaning a condo a couple of weeks ago and lots of soap scum was in both showers one was real bad so I used apple cider vinegar and baking soda. I let soak for a while and take a soft brush and go to it. It took a couple of times of cleaning but I got all the water & soap build up off. The person I clean for could not believe vinegar and baking soda could take soap scum off. Both are good on chrome fixtures too.

Try a razor blade scraper.
