The main aim of this paper is to construct symmetric designs with trivial automorphism groups. Being aware of the fact that an exhaustive search for parameters $(36,15,6)$ and $(41,16,6)$ is still impossible, we assume that these designs admit a tactical decomposition which would correspond to an orbit structure achieved under an action of an automorphism of order $3$. This constraint proves to be fruitful and allows us to classify simultaneously those symmetric designs with mentioned parameters which admit an automorphism of order $3$ as well as to construct new designs with a trivial automorphism group.
