I agree with your concern about "toxic masculinity". However, I think creating a positive term to coexist with it is unhelpful.
Being masculine is always a good thing. When I was young, I was taught a certain set of things about being a man. Yes, masculinity implies strength. (Not necessarily physical!) However, abuse of that strength is not masculine.
Creating a term like "altruistic masculinity" implies that masculinity is a neutral thing that can be good or bad.
