I've made some progress:
If I remove the following lines from /etc/network/interfaces:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet6 auto
NetworkManager errors "nm_urfkill_get_wlan_state: assertion 'self->wlan_proxy
!= NULL' failed" are gone:

However, it seems that the module rtl8723ae is not loaded:

This is strange because I can see some WiFi networks in the top right hand side
menu.
Furthermore, if I try to connect to a WiFi hotspot (Nexus 5 here),
NetworkManager tries to connect to the Nexus 5 bluetooth interface

Now, if I try to turn off bluetooth, Ubuntu goes into airplane mode
which disables WiFi as well - I'm unable to turn off bluetooth alone.

This seems to indicate that WiFi & bluetooth interfaces are considered as the
same interface for this operation, which is very strange.
Ubuntu Server tries to connect to the bluetooth interface of the Nexus 5
hotspot, probably because the rtl8723ae module is not loaded.
If I try to manually load the rtl8723ae module in /etc/modules:
rtl8723ae
update-initramfs-u
shutdown -r now
It does not change anything.
I believe we should try to solve the errors shown in "modinfo
rtl8723ae".
