Sorry, wish I could be more help, but no idea what is causing your issues.
But I can debunk what the mechanic said about the throttle wire. The smart uses a drive by wire system and replacing the motor mounts should have nothing to do with it as the wires only send a signal to the throttle body. The only way it could is if he accidentally loosened the connectors, but then I think it would happen to more gears/speeds.
It's not like a car that uses an actual cable connected to the gas pedal to operate the butterfly in the throttle body (meaning that it could kink or bind because of different angles after moving/stiffening up the engine).
