Ok, so you either change your clients to use "sec=ntlmssp", or change "ntlm auth" on the server to "yes" as explained by @metze in comment #17.
This sec= setting in mount.cifs also changed defaults. From its manpage: "The default in mainline kernel versions prior to v3.8 was sec=ntlm. In v3.8, the default was changed to sec=ntlmssp." So if you just remove it, it will use ntlmssp already. Kernel 3.8 was shipped in Ubuntu sometime between precise (3.2) and trusty (3.13).
