Ok the problem is deceptively simple and to be fair I know we've looked at it
before so I don't know why it hasn't been corrected by now.

You don't own the mountpoint itself and that's not going to help for a user
automount via systemd. Systemd is still doing the heavy lifting here by the way -
even if you just put an entry in /etc/fstab the "old fashioned way" then it's
interpreted by and turned into a systemd unit file by the systemd mount generator.
systemd has been doing it's job correctly for you all along.

Copy/paste exactly - watch out for not adding trailing slashes specifically. You
want to change the permissions specifically on the mount point only, don't
accidentally recurse down through the NFS share:

sudo ls /media/julian/DEMETER #will show root ownership of "." dir
sudo chown julian:julian /media/julian/DEMETER  #change it
ls /media/julian/DEMETER #will show julian now owns "." dir

And then reboot (bit heavy handed but whatever). I think you'll have an
immediately working nfs automount then.

Check not with your desktop shortcut thingies which always seems broken anyway:
just do ls /media/julian/DEMETER in a shell after reboot and check it automounts.
Then:

sudo systemctl status media-julian-DEMETER.mount
sudo journalctl -u media-julian-DEMETER.automount -b

I think it's as simple as that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
