When an HDMI monitor is plugged in, the system considers it “docked” as if it were plugged into a docking station. As such you need to use:
sudo -H gedit /etc/systemd/logind.conf
Change the line:
#HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
to read:
HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend
Then save the file and reboot.
Note: This is the most common solution and if it doesn’t work we can explore other options.
