smartmontools has a tool to update the drivedb which is used during autodetection of drive types[1]. It seems the Ubuntu version of smartmontools has this command disabled. If a new version of the drivedb.h fixes your issue we may just need to update the smartmontools packages with the latest version. Could you try the following?

# sudo mv /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h.orig
# sudo wget https://www.smartmontools.org/browser/trunk/smartmontools/drivedb.h -O /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h
# sudo smartctl --all $DEVICE
