This should come naturally as you play. On the ultraviolence difficulty you should have come across every enemy there is by the middle of Map11, as there are no special secret blue enemies in the secret maps, and the final boss doesn’t count.
However, what may not be obvious, the game needs to register the enemies as killed by the player! So, if you do like I did and let the ceiling crushers and enemy infighting do the killing for you, the kills don’t register. For example, in Map06 (Crusher), on UV difficulty, you can let a certain enemy be killed by a ceiling crusher, and the next opportunity to kill that particular enemy comes as late as Map20, which is where I finally got the achievement.
Here’s checklist for enemies, in order of appearance (according to my memory) on the Ultraviolence difficulty.
1. Pistol zombie
2. Shotgun zombie
3. Chaingun zombie
4. Imp (brown fireball guys)
5. Demon (pink pig)
6. Spectre (invisible pink pig)
7. Lost soul (flaming skulls, although I’m not sure if these count, but you’ll surely be killing these).
8. Cacodemon (floating tomatoes)
9. Hell knights (goats who say ”aurora” when they die)
10. Revenant (skeleton guys)
11. Spider mastermind (big spiders). You’ll first meet this guy on Map06 (on ultra-violence difficulty).
12. Arachnotrons (small spiders)
13. Mancubus (fat guys who say ”cannibael-o”)
14. Baron of Hell (stronger goats)
15. Cyberdemon (the big goat with rocket launcher). You’ll first see these in Map08.
16. Pain Elemental (floating moldy potatoes who spit lost souls at you).
17. Archvile (skinny guys who use magic at you and say ”Avatar!” when they die). You’ll meet first of these guys in Map11 (UV).
Edit 05/04/2020: There has been an update on the game, which restores the exclusive blue enemies to the secret levels 31 and 32. It has been confirmed (thanks xNeo21x) that these enemies are not required for the achievement.
Additionally, in case you have missed any kills, the update also included a Level select functionality, which allows you to choose and enter any level to mop up any missed enemies. The most probable misses are the rarer monsters, Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind (others you should come up with very often and in large numbers), which both can be found near the start of level 20 ("Gotcha!"). Remember, that they must die from your weapon fire, not from attacks by other enemies.
Edit 04/05/2020: Note that the my advice of using level select is based on the conjecture that the achievement tracker keeps on working. Some have reported that level select hasn't been helpful, and that they have had to start an actual new game.
Also, when going for achievements, make sure you have add-ons (such as Evilution, Plutonia, etc.) disabled, as the achievements are disabled with them.

I'm having trouble with this too. I've gone through the entire game on Hey, Not Too Rough and then went through the Master Levels on the same difficulty.
Granted, I didn't fight EVERY monster I found, I definitely took down maybe 60% I ran across, so there's no way I don't have this complete.
Yet it shows as 94% and it's driving me crazy. I decided to do another run through the game after deleting all local and cloud saves and reinstalling the game. I was thinking the problem was that the Spider Demon in Map 20 didn't count since the Cyberdemon might have obtained that kill, so when I got to the Spider Demon in Map 28, I was sure to kill the Arachnatrons THEN kill it. Up to that point I had seen EVERY monster and killed it, including the ones in the secret level.
Achievement still not popping and it's driving me insane, as I want to move on to Doom 64 now. Any thoughts and advice? Thanks!
EDIT: As an addendum, I just tried doing it via Game Pass on my phone today, got no success that way either. This is making me sad. :(
EDIT (4/21/21): As a final addendum, I got the achievement to pop. I deleted all saves, cloud included and deleted the game as well, then reinstalled and started a fresh run (I can't remember the difficulty, I think it was the easiest). I made sure to wipe each level of EVERY enemy, just to be safe, and a few levels later, 7 or 8 or so, I killed my first Baron of Hell and that popped the achievement. I hope that info helps somebody else who might have issue! I'd recommend keeping a checklist AS you play normally though, as that could help prevent this from happening. It's entirely possible every Baron kill I got originally was from a monster fight, and that's why it never worked.

I've been playing Doom and Doom II for over 20 years and I can still name every enemy and their attributes from memory but some of your descriptions made me laugh. I've never considered to describe them how they sound when they die and you did a great job (though I'm not sure about the Mancubus saying).

Mancubus was the hardest to describe, because in finnish, which is my native language, they sound as if they say "kannibaalo". The finnish word for cannibal is "kannibaali", so I took a little translatory liberties.
