Ok, this is your problem then. You have both, the old and deprecated
nm-system-settings.conf file and the new NetworkManager.conf.
As the old file takes precedence, and your nm-system-settings.conf does
not contain plugins=ifupdown,keyfile, this might explain your problem.

Please migrate any settings you have in nm-system-settings.conf to
NetworkManager.conf, and delete that file.

Then restart NM.

I'm not sure how you ended up having both config files. The Debian
package at least tries to migrate the settings in it postinst.
