Is there any example of finite extension of field $K\subseteq L$ whose $\mathrm{Aut}(L/K)$ is infinite group?

No. A finite extension is algebraic, so each element of a basis of $L$ over $K$ can go to only finitely many places under a $K$-automorphism of $L$. A $K$-automorphism of $L$ is determined by where it sends the elements of a $K$-basis of $L$, so there are only finitely many $K$-automorphisms of $L$.
