Toggling "Make available to other users" to ON solves the problem! First I tested this with the built-in Ethernet adapter. After this was successful I configured this to ON for the other adapters and rebooted the device. Now all the devices honor the "Connect Automatically" setting. Thank you! I think there is still the question of why this setting must be ON for this to work properly. I followed the steps suggested by Max Nikulin and I think there is something interesting in the output of 'journalctl -f'. For comparison I have included the output of 'journalctl -f' from before and after I enabled "Make available to other users". Please see below.
