How to add AdGuard DNS via TLS

This GUI is very confusing, because I can add it via DNS server setting, but the TLS setting is optional and can coexist with the regular DNS. So, how to do it properly?
 
DNS Server field is the DNS server router's system will use, it's should be set to a reliable one.
It is used for time sync, DDNS and few other things.
So setting AdGuard's DoT server details in the DoT list is the way.

As far as I can tell it works like this:

WAN->DoT is disabled, no custom servers set in LAN->DHCP:
Router will advertise itself as DNS server and forward all DNS queries to servers set in WAN->DNS Server

WAN->DoT
is disabled, custom servers are set in LAN->DHCP:
Router will advertise DNS servers specified in LAN->DHCP

WAN->DoT
is enabled, no custom servers set in LAN->DHCP:
Router will advertise itself as DNS server and forward all DNS queries to servers set in WAN->DNS-over-TLS servers through Stubby
If servers set on that list are not IP addresses then they will first be resolved to IPs using a DNS server set in WAN->DNS Server

WAN->DoT is enabled, custom servers are set in LAN->DHCP:
Router will advertise DNS servers specified in LAN->DHCP
While Stubby is configured and launched in this case - the clients will never know about it
