Network Manager not setting correct DNS servers

Since a few weeks i use Ubuntu 16 on my laptop:

Code:
# uname -a
Linux xxxx 4.8.0-52-generic #55~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 28 14:36:29 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Because i want to use a custom name server i set the properties in the "Edit Connections" dialogue to the following:

Code:
[...]
Method: Automatic (DHCP) addresses only
[...]
DNS Servers: <list of IP-addresses with DNS servers>

And i expected that any time i use this connection that the respective DNS servers are automatically put into the file /etc/resolv.conf (which is actually a link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf, as it should be, i am told).

Still, this doesn't happen and in /etc/resolv.conf a name server provided by the DHCP server is mentioned instead of the ones i entered. What am i doing wrong?
