'Enable legacy boot' means you are no longer using UEFI mode at all, you
are using BIOS compatibility - you're basically doing a BIOS boot. So
your problem is not Secure Boot, but UEFI itself.

Are you sure you tried a dd written stick? Images written with
liveusb-creator are not UEFI bootable, this is known. I don't know about
ones written with unetbootin, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me if
they had problems with UEFI. The only methods tested and known for sure
to work for UEFI booting are dd and livecd-iso-to-disk: if you want a
UEFI-bootable image, you should be focusing on one of those two methods.
