I have a similar problem on 18.04 on a Lenovo V330.
Suspend works fine without external monitor, but no matter what I do it's
inhibited when its connected. I want it to suspend always.
$ grep -i lid /etc/systemd/logind.conf
#HandleLidSwitch=suspend
HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend
#LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes
$ dconf read
/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor
true
$ systemd-inhibit --list --mode=block
<snip>
Who: gdm (UID 121/gdm, PID 5935/gsd-power)
What: handle-lid-switch
Why: Multiple displays attached
Mode: block
Who: gaute (UID 1000/gaute, PID 1713/gsd-power)
What: handle-lid-switch
Why: Multiple displays attached
Mode: block
Only the second of these goes away when monitor is unplugged, but lid
close still works.
This is possibly due to a bug in gsd-power which is mentioned in the following
guthub issues.

Title:
Notebook doesn't suspend when lid is closed after update to 16.04
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
My notebook does not suspend after upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04.
According to system settings the notebook should suspend when lid is
closed but actually this does not happen. Instead it continues to run
as if nothing had happened.
With the previous versions of ubuntu (14.04-15.10) everything worked
fine.
