correction: nmcli only.

`nmcli  connection up my_wg_connection` (before using the applet to start wifi|wired connection)

Ooops. I've been using the nmcli, just tested the settings app, and there's no way to connect from there, as I wrongly assumed. It just list all connections and right-clicking them will only display "- Delete" or "Disconnect" (if appropriate). There's no "connect" option.
