Had the same problem some years back. 40 gal electric.
Traced problem to to low temp setting. Solution:
turn off water supply drain tank. When empty close drain valve, Disconnect cold water inlet and pout in 1 gal of clorox. Reconnect cold water line and fill tank with water. Open hot water faucet farthest from tank and run until you smell chlorine,close faucet. Do same with all faucets and let sit for 4 hrs. Drain tank, refill with fresh water and flush lines thru faucets. Turn on heat source and set temp at 125f min. This solved my problem. Anode had nothing to do with smell...
