I got this to work as expected. I did this in this way:

g_signal_emit_by_name(old,
                      NM_SETTINGS_CONNECTION_INTERFACE_REMOVED);
g_hash_table_remove(priv->config_connections,
                    conn_name);
g_hash_table_insert(priv->config_connections,
                    g_strdup(conn_name),
                    new);

just remove the old connection add the new one :P. Network will be
disconnected in a very short period.
