Yes, this is correct, we refuse new triggers of busnames, sockets or
automount units if we area going down, so that the shutdown operation
is not reversed. This is known behaviour.

If you know that ExecStop= needs some resource, I'd recommend pulling
in the unit for it explicitly with Wants=, so that it is pulled in
already during start. In you case, pull in the .mount unit with Wants=
in [Unit] and all should be good?
