Go to the network settings, and set the wireless connection as "shared with other users". Then it will appear in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. If you don't want to share the connection with other users, do something like find $HOME/.config -name "*ESSID*" where ESSID is the ESSID you are interested in. The prefix '*' is because a while ago NM added the name "Auto" to all wireless networks that were set to automatically connect. If ~/.config does not work, use ~/.local (I don't have my laptop with me, so I cannot check which one it is).
