Yes and tried outside chroot and got the same thing
so using your link above this is how to reinstall grub:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
then this:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
post errors/warnings
[manjaro /]# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
[manjaro /]# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
