The following query will do that, but it's convoluted:

WITH grp (t1, id, t2) AS (
  SELECT t1.txt, t1.id, t2.txt
  FROM tbt t1
  LEFT JOIN tbt t2 ON t2.txt > t1.txt
  WHERE t2.txt IS NULL OR similarity(t1.txt, t2.txt) > 0
)
SELECT t1, min(id)
FROM (
    SELECT t1, id
    FROM grp
  UNION ALL
    SELECT t2, id
    FROM grp
    WHERE t2 IS NOT NULL
  ) dummy
GROUP BY t1
ORDER BY t1
