It's a known deficiency that this does not work.

I don't know what "ECB" is, but GnuCash uses Finance::Quote and Yahoo
Quotes for currency conversions, and should do this automatically[*]
when you assign non-standard currencies to your accounts.
[*] You still need to manually run the get-quotes function either on
the command-line or through the price editor. By "automatic" I mean
that it should automatically know to obtain the currency quotes and
where to get them.
