This sounds annoying, sorry! The version of deja-dup in Ubuntu 17.10 has reworked a bit of the external drive detection code, I wonder if that would work any better for you. (Not suggesting that you upgrade to a non-LTS necessarily, but just holding out hope that 18.04 will improve this for you when you eventually do an upgrade.)
