The Home app follows the Apple ID that owns the home, and any HomePod or Apple TV still signed into the old one. The iOS update doesn't move that over. Open the Home app, tap the More button, then Home Settings, and see who is listed. If you can still sign in with the old Apple ID, do that on one device, invite your current Apple ID, accept it, and then leave with the old one. Check each HomePod and Apple TV too. If any of them is on the old Apple ID, the phone will keep asking for it. Sign that device into the current Apple ID, or remove it from the home and add it again. Also look at Settings > your name > Media & Purchases and make sure that's the current Apple ID.
