This doesn't matter at all from the beginning.
You see a line "line_outs=1 (type: speaker)" before that.  So, the
speaker output is assigned as the primary output there.

The problem is, instead, that the primary DAC (thus its selector
widget) is assigned to the headphone.  Check whether NID 0x0c is
assigned to "Speaker" volume, not for "Headphone".
The no_primary_hp flag should have achieved it, but it turned out that
5.1 surround setup blocks it.  That's why you got "Headphone" on NID
0x0c, and 0x0d/0x0e for the rest speaker and possible surrounds.

The new flag, no_multi_io prevents the creation of 5.1 setup, so that
the speaker will be assigned to NID 0x0c, together with the
combination of no_primary_hp.

OK, so far, so good.
Check whether NID 0x0c is assigned to "Speaker".

And this didn't work?  Did you adjust the mixer element again?
Since this changes the mixer configuration, some new mixer element may
come up.  Give alsa-info.sh output at this moment, please.

No, you need to set multi_io=no, as mentioned.
