My 3 suggestions also played their versions for that show! (My Chapman link is from that show.)
Lots of great suggestions so far, but I’ll give a general suggestion for the soundtrack of “I’m Not There”, it’s great throughout and has a very special, but satisfying choice of songs. There are a lot of standout tracks, e. g. I’m Not There by Sonic Youth, Goin’ To Acapulco by Calexico or Cat Power’s Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again. But they’re all great.
You saved me the trouble.
I did use the Byrds, but went with: “Wheels on Fire”.
Peter, Paul, and Mary: "Don't Think Twice" was the one I went with.“If you Gotta Go”-used Manfred Mann.
“One Too Many Mornings”-Used The Association version.
And If I included “Chimes of Freedom” these days I’d go wit the Boss.
Shown here in East Berlin.
Bryan Ferry’s A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall is a bit of an acquired taste, but I happen to like it. It’s certainly very Bryan Ferry.
He also did a pure cover album called “Dylanesque” which is not bad at all.

Check out their album “50 Years of Blonde on Blonde.”

More from the more alternative side:
Wanted Man by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Highway '61 Revisited by PJ Harvey
Wheel’s On Fire by Siouxsie and The Banshees
The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll by Steve Howe.
Don’t know if it’s any good, but neither the song or artist has been mentioned yet, and I don’t want to piss off the OP.
I did use Ronstadt’s version of “Baby”.
And don’t worry about pissing me off. It’s all for fun here.
“Open the Door, Homer” by Thunderclap Newman.
Since famously cited Odetta as the spark behind his desire to become a folk singer, you might maybe want to include one of her Dylan covers.
