Smothered mate appears when king is surrounded by other pieces or by edge of the board (no way to escape even through a backdoor) and all what can save him - is teleportation.
In your case I'd call it Don Quixote's mate.
btw, today is International Chess Day. Would you like to connect on chesscom? My nim metkram there too
I know, I know, that's why I hesitated calling it "smothered"
