If your system is not a VM, can you confirm if it is BIOS or UEFI please.
The most reliable check is to open a terminal and run this command.

Code:

efibootmgr

Please post back.

Using an old BIOS laptop running LL7.4 (not a VM), I was able to reproduce the problem and get the same exit status 32 error.

Code:

Setting up grub-efi-amd64-signed (1.202.5+2.12-1ubuntu7.3) ...
mount: /var/lib/grub/esp: special device /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VBad170837-5acc172c-part2 does not exist.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
dpkg: error processing package grub-efi-amd64-signed (--configure):
installed grub-efi-amd64-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 32

The inference is that the grub-efi package is running on a BIOS system which just seems wrong to me.
