Yes, this one.
If it is enabled, Engine should reflect the MTU which is provided by ovirt-provider-ovn via OpenStack API.
The related configuration value dhcp-mtu of ovirt-provider-ovn is explained in https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-provider-ovn/blob/master/README.adoc.

Any hint for the location of "Automatic Synchronization" in UI ?

This might be just a misleading representation of the default value or an unknown value.
If "Automatic Synchronization" is enabled for the ovirt-provider-ovn in oVirt Engine,
the value should be updated in Engine to the correct after the next synchronization in the background.
