on diesels smoke is caused mainly by incorrect timing or of course worn out engine parts like valve guides and piston rings
it will be timing of pump --could be pump is knackered --but proper timing set -up after doing other mechanical checks --like the valve clearances,proper injector testing is the way to go .
you changed the belt and have never answered if problem started after this --which makes me think it did --so it will be pump timing
I once had a car with only 8k from new+ under 1 year old and it would not start first thing --but after first start of day --fine --cause valve clearances too close ,but as engine warmed up the alloy head expanded and moved camshaft away from cam follwers--so then it had some clearance ,
vlave clearnces too wide --will alter valve timing as well --but more problems when they are too tight

I'm with you on the pump timing. it's not making sense.
Also, these have buckets and shims
The ECU is a pig on these. it has no feedback for the pump timing. it's a preset PWM signal for a given engine rpm and the rate of change of rpm from the crank sensor.
