I'm not finding a reference to "secure erase trim". In any case I wouldn't 
expect it to differ from trim. The requirement for ATA SECURITY ERASE UNIT is 
to replace LBA 0 to READ NATIVE MAX contents with either 0s or 1s. 

ENHANCED SECURITY ERASE UNIT additional requires data overwrite, including 
sectors not in use. But there's no requirement for what kind of data is used 
for overwriting.
