I know Flight Safety uses smoke generators in some sims to set up emergencies. They used to at least. Don't know if they have/train EVAS along with it.
It was a no-motion cockpit simulator, but controls/instruments worked and you could see through the windscreen well enough to land, certainly better than you could with just smoke goggles.
FlightSafety still does EVAS, for those who use it. For a while another guy and I were the only 2 at all if FlightSafety who could teach it. We used full motion sim and a smoke machine as you described. Taught deploying the EVAS and using it in a smoke filled cockpit. Had a practice one for the briefing we would pull out and demo first.
