Comment 1 Jan Grulich 2018-11-14 12:28:22 UTC 
This seems to be a bug in NetworkManager, I did some investigation and NetworkManager doesn't send new changed password to our secret agent.

NM bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/issues/82
Comment 2 Jan Grulich 2018-11-18 17:28:35 UTC 
As a workaround you can save the password to NetworkManager by selecting that the password should be save for all users. 

This is also reproducible in Gnome, so confirmed this is not a bug in plasma-nm.
