You've got other entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ that you haven't
shown, and at least one of them contains Ubuntu packages (xenial).

I can only think of three things here.

1) Maybe that xenial line is breaking something.  I would definitely not
   have ANYTHING from Ubuntu on a Debian system.  That said, I don't know
   precisely how it would break things without leaving visible traces.

2) Maybe your lists (in /var/lib/apt/lists/) are wrong somehow, in a way
   that's preventing "apt update" from retrieving the current ones.  You
   could try removing the deb.debian.org_* lists, and re-running apt
   update.

3) Maybe deb.debian.org keeps giving you a mirror that isn't in sync.
   You could try a country-specific mirror instead.
