Answer

"Their engagement in the conversation increases when they discuss interesting topics. " Fortifies means to increase in strength or durability. The past tense "fortified" doesn't match with the (incorrect) present progressive "they (are) discussing", so I made them both present. You could also keep the past tense and say "engagement in the conversation increased when they were discussing". "Over" isn't used with "discuss" like that. It generally doesn't need a preposition.

"If he doesn't comply with my request, I'll complain about him." I've never heard "complain against".

"Had he phrased his views on sex crimes properly and appropriately, he wouldn't have to resign." In order to use "then" like that, you need an "if" to go along with it. You could do "If he had phrased... then he wouldn't...".

"The presence of awkward phrasing can inhibit effective communication." Saying "a communication" sounds like you're referring to one letter or message. Using the more general "communication" works better here.
