The notice can start anytime, it’s when it expires that matters. You are correct, the notice should expire the day before the rent is due after at least one month. It can also expire on a rent day. You can reject a notice that doesn’t meet this criteria (assuming the rent is calendar monthly). You can also accept an invalid notice if you wish.

But when the LANDLORD is serving notice (which of course has to be at least two months) there’s no longer any requirement for the notice expire at the end of a rent period.
(Though of course if you do end a tenancy mid-month then you should pro-rata the rent accordingly.)
Just to clarify, the rule that the expiry date must be after the end of a period for landlords notice (section 21) still exists for tenancies granted before 1 October 2015. The rule has changed only for tenancies or renewals granted on or after 1 October 2015
