Remove bind-interfaces from your configuration: that will cause dnsmasq
to listen on 0.0.0.0:53 also.

The behaviour you're looking for (bind addresses as interfaces come up)
is not available. It will be available in dnsmasq 2.63 using a new
option, bind-dynamic instead of bind-interfaces. Dnsmasq 2.63 is due any
day now.
