Well, from your logs it looked like "some" client accessed the
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager D-Bus interface, triggering the service
start. nm-applet was only my first guess. There are various other NM
client, including nmcli and nmtui for the command line.

Not sure.
When you run systemctl disable NetworkManager.service, did it remove the
/etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service symlink?
