Here you use BMY as symbol ...

... Wow, that is strange, why is the URL malformed?

So it looks more like a general problem, but I am sure you already
know/expect that.

That looks OK to me.

... and here the symbol is BMW. Somewhat hard to compare.

Let's start afresh. KMyMoney 5.0.8 is a bit too old. You should use 5.1.2 if supported
by your package manager.

The URL field should contain "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v6/finance/quote?fields=regularMarketPrice&symbols=%1"
without the enclosing quotes. In case you take that and use it in your browser to see what is returned
you need to replace %1 with BMY, ANZ.AX or BMW. That is what KMyMoney is doing.

Maybe, that is because the %1 is not replaced with the actual symbol when using a browser
to verify.

Not very likely and I doubt it.

For your reference, I attach my settings here. The screenshot is taken from a
more recent development version of KMyMoney and it thus can contain additional
fields you don't see.

Hope that helps to get started.
