I also have secure boot enabled, and I also get this message.
However, I am using linux-lowlatency, which might not be signed. Could this explain the message ? (and subsidiary question, why is there no signed lowlatency kernel ?)

Title:
  shim prints "Booting in insecure mode" when booting without SecureBoot
  enabled

Status in “shim” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  shim 0.7 has an unfortunate bug where when booting with SecureBoot
  disabled (i.e., in setup mode), it will print the message "Booting in
  insecure mode" and pause for two seconds before booting.

  This has been corrected upstream in commit
  d95b24bd02cf41cca9adebd95f10609d6424d2b3, which postdates 0.7.  We
  will include this fix in the next upload of shim (dependent on a
  Microsoft round-trip for signing).
