I upgraded this VM to bookworm months ago.

apt policy network-manager

network-manager:
  Installed: 1.42.4-1
  Candidate: 1.42.4-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.42.4-1 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

My point was that it required some efforts to get an ethernet card be 
controlled by NetworkManager. Due to deprecation of isc-dhcp-client 
things may change in bookworm, but I do not see anything suspicious in 
output of "apt-cache showpkg network-manager".

I am curious which package pulled network-manager in your case

   aptitude why network-manager

or

   apt list '?narrow(~i, 
~DRecommends:~n^network-manager$|~D~n^network-manager$)'

In my case it is recommended by plasma-desktop.
