I found a workaround which at least prevents from editing the wrong, i.e. old document. I deactivated the auto-save function in my word app on the smartphone. Now I am asked, wether to save the editied version or not, when leaving the word app. When the answer is "yes", the old version will be overwritten.
Whenever I open the word doc from within Dropbox now, the word app realizes that some newer version exists and asks, wether the newer version is to be opened.
This workround requires some more questions answered and clicks, but at least it openes the correct, newest version.

Thanks! That seems to work with me too. A good workaround, although would be nice to still have the autosave feature available to avoid having to do this.
