Check how the agent is being started.   In particular, what options it
is started with.
If there's a parameter such as "localhost" or "localhost:161", then delete this
and restart the agent.

By default, the agent will listen on the standard port on all
available interfaces.
But if you explicitly specify a list of ports, then it will only
listen on those.

I don't use Ubuntu myself, so I don't know how this is configured there.
But on a Fedora/RedHat system, it would typically be controlled via
/etc/sysconfig/snmpd
