Since I can already see NM and dhcpcd in your random journal excerpt and the symptoms fit:
Please post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

Start by stopping and disabling dhcpcd
If the issue remains, please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
