Does monies from home sale of decedent have to be put back into a trust after the sale of the home by beneficiaries?
Trustee removed legally from selling home of decedent. Beneficiaries were on deed when house was sold. Now trustee is saying the money from sale of house has to be put back into trust. Is this legal?

Yes, but only until all mortgages and property taxes and any other debts the decedent may have had, as well
as funeral expenses, are paid. Then,any remaining monies can be distributed to the NAMED heirs in the will.

Yes that is correct. If the trust owned the house then the trust owns the proceeds of the sale. Removing a Trustee does not terminate a trust. You will need to read the trust deed to see if/how it can be terminated if that is what you all want.
If you terminate, distributions from the trust will be subject to tax.
