This is irregardless of their proficiency in the weapon, which only matters when determining if you make your attack rolls with your proficiency bonus or not. A strong enough medium-size wizard can still swing around a greatsword if they wanted without rolling two dice, their to hit bonus would just be low compared to a proficient character.
