Since AFAIR, a soft hyphen is an invisible format character indicating a possible hyphenation location, placing a soft hyphen between a space character and a word is pretty much a garbage in, garbage out situation.
Since you appear to have the epub to be able to convert it, why not simply remove the soft hyphens and reconvert? To me, this would be the more sensible approach and allows those who use soft hyphens properly to continue using them.
If you are only given the converted output, time to punt the garbage back to the originator and tell them to fix it.
