You should use certbot-auto instead of letsencrypt-auto. Also, you can remove the “certonly” part.

Well, you did exactly the opposite as what @jsha recommended. You didn't remove certonly, instead you left it there, but changed --nginx to --standalone.

To help you, we need to understand exactly what you're trying to do. For example, why the above changes? Do you understand what the difference is?
