This one is pretty obscure ... especially since it's possible I don't
remember it in sufficient detail to describe it accurately. (Read it
when I was a kid.)

A short story, probably in one of the standard pulp magazines.

An astronaut lands on a planet with a poisonous atmosphere and some
poisonous chemical in place of water. For some reason which I can't
remember, he has to take off his space suit, or his space suit doesn't
work, or something.

It ends with him taking a deep refreshing breath of the poisonous
atmosphere and enjoying a refreshing shower in the poisonous liquid.
The unexplained implication (I think!) is that he has somehow morphed
into an alien, suited to the planet.

Not at all obscure, A. E. van Vogt's "Enchanted Village" is one of the most famous sci-fi stories. You can read it here:

ePubs are also available at the Isle. A perfect fit for my "not a nook"
Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. :)

Those in the mood for a psychedelic sideshow can read about the 2017
adaptation of "The Impossible Planet" (PDK). It's one of the episodes in
_Electric Dreams_:

Huh! I had no idea it was someone so famous. I guess I read it when I
was so young that I didn't yet know who anyone in science fiction was.
