Django crispy form layout helper does not work

I'm trying to set the html layout of my forms using the helper and layout of crispy form. In other words I have set my form in the following manner. 

class MaterialeForm(forms.ModelForm):
    data_contabile=forms.DateTimeField(widget=DatePicker(attrs={
    class Meta:
        model = Materiale
        fields = "__all__"

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.helper = FormHelper()

        self.layout = Layout(
            Field('conta', id="form-conto", css_class="form-control", name="Conto"))

And after that I have set in my template the html code: 

<div class="modal-body">
                  <label for="conto"></label>
                  {{form.conto|as_crispy_field}}

but in the layout the id and name does not work properly. In fact if I ispect the page I try the following code: 

<select name="conto" class="select form-control form-control" required="" id="id_conto"> <option value="">---------</option> <option value="1" selected="">Materia Prima</option>

</select>

where is the error?

I am also just started using crispy forms. Trying to fix a similar issue, I noticed the layout helper only works when using:

{% crispy form %}

instead of {{ form|crispy}} or any of the template filter variants.
