If Linux Mint refuses to mount an encrypted external drive that was abruptly disconnected and gives you a message like "file already exists" or something like that, instead of rebooting the system you can try unmounting it from the command line:
sudo udisksctl unmount -b /dev/mapper/luks-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx
or
sudo dmsetup -f remove /dev/mapper/luks-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx
Just type until luks and then press tab twice to see what's the id in your case.
