Well, not really clear. HDD’s don’t eject, the most we can do is mount or unmount them. Where the latter has to be done to “safely remove hardware”.
I’ve never spent much attention to it, don’t know if my external HDD’s spin down after disconnecting them, AFAIK they don’t. Sorry, don’t have access to them right now.

Hi
Have you tried the sg_start command, this should stop the device, then
eject;
sg_start --eject /dev/sdXn
Where X is the device and n is the partition…
