ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS has this issue. I'm not interested in secure boot but
encrypted /boot. The grub package points to grub2-common
(2.02-2ubuntu8.13). Even with the update detailed in the other post, the
problem still exists. I can't load cryptomount and ubuntu starts with
only grub shell.

Title:
  efi encrypted /boot grub installation does not include crypto support

Status in grub2-signed package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installing with full disk encryption, including /boot, resulted in the
  following error after grub loaded: "error: Can't find command
  'cryptomount'"

  This is identical to the OpenSUSE bug identified at
  https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/511111

  Including an efi, secureboot grub image that is capable of encrypted
  /boot filesystem mounting is essential for securing the desktop. I see
  this issue as a prerequisite for bug #1773457.

  OpenSUSE resolved this issue by including crypto support in their .efi
  grub images. I believe that this should be the default for Ubuntu as
  well, or an additional crypto-enabled grub efi package should be made
  available.
