I'm using a slightly different configuration, with the suffix configured 
in the host[1].

In the IPv6 Settings tab of the connection try setting the "Method" to 
"Automatic, DHCP only". The default appears to be "Automatic" which 
could also imply SLAAC.

[1] this must be done in the configuration file, at least on buster it's 
not exposed in the GUI connection editor.

Kind regards,
Andrei
