It doesn't "proc" with each shot. It isn't a glitch, and you CAN change the damage type (damage type isn't shown up till you proc, but still affect your damage output. A low impact damage weapon won't deal as much damage to shield as a high impact one, even if the lower one proc more often). It just doesn't deal "normal" damage. Meaning you'll see the "toxin" icon each time you hit, but it is just the "classic" damage for the Acrid. On the other hand, you can still get specific damage proc, like corosive or viral. It shows up, but because of the "low" chance to proc, you don't see it often. Try it with higher level enemies and downgrade your damage, you'll see.

(Also, if you build it properly and with enough forma, you won't have to worry about this. Because it will OS enemies on higher levels, like it did)
