NM only creates such a virtual "Auto eth0" configuration if no other
ethernet type configuration ([802-3-ethernet]) exists. Did you have
pre-existing connection configurations?

Could you grep for 802-3-ethernet in
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections respectively the the output of
"nmcli con".
Did you maybe have an old DSL configuration?
