A new set of in-medium meson-nucleon vertices is derived from Dirac-Brueckner Hartree-Fock (DBHF) calculations in asymmetric matter, now accounting also for the density dependence of isovector coupling constants. The scalar-isovector $delta$ meson is included. Nuclear matter calculations show that it is necessary to introduce a momentum correction in the extraction of coupling constants from the DBHF self-energies in order to reproduce the DBHF equation of state by DDRH mean-field calculations. The properties of DDRH vertices derived from the Groningen and the Bonn A nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials are compared in nuclear matter calculations and for finite nuclei. Relativistic Hartree results for binding energies, charge radii, separation energies and shell gaps for the Ni and Sn isotopic chains are presented. Using the momentum corrected vertices an overall agreement to data on a level of a few percent is obtained. In the accessible range of asymmetries the $delta$ meson contributions to the self-energies are found to be of minor importance but asymmetry dependent fluctuations may occur.
