Style transition not working with mui/system

We've recently changed from styled-components to styled() coming from mui/system. We noticed that transitions do not take place as expected.
Below is the code for a font-size transition when we were using styled-components:

const StyledHeader = styled(Grid)<{ $scrolled: boolean }>`
  background: linear-gradient(127.84deg, #bbf7f7 0%, #f3e1fc 100%);
  box-shadow: ${props =>
    props.$scrolled
      ? '0px 2px 4px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05), 0px 4px 5px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03), 0px 1px 10px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03)'
      : 'none'};
  ${({ $scrolled }) =>
    $scrolled &&
    `
    ${StyledTitle} {
      font-size: 1.4rem;
    }
  `}
  padding: 8px;
  padding-top: 16px;
  transition: padding 0.5s;
  position: sticky;
  top: ${TOPBAR_HEIGHT}px;
  z-index: 996;
`

const StyledTitle = styled(Typography)<{ $mobileBreakpoint: string }>`
  transition: font-size 0.5s;
  white-space: nowrap;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  display: block;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin-y: 1rem;
` 

When using styled() from mui/system this transition does not take place. The code is as follows:

const StyledHeader = styled(Grid)(() => ({
    background: 'linear-gradient(127.84deg, #bbf7f7 0%, #f3e1fc 100%)',
    boxShadow: scrolled
      ? '0px 2px 4px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05), 0px 4px 5px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03), 0px 1px 10px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03)'
      : 'none',
    padding: '8px',
    paddingTop: '16px',
    transition: 'padding 0.5s',
    position: 'sticky',
    top: `${TOPBAR_HEIGHT}px`,
    zIndex: 996,
  }))
  
  const StyledTitle = styled(Typography)(() => ({
    fontSize: scrolled ? '1.4rem !important' : 'inherit',
    transition: 'font-size 0.5s',
    whiteSpace: 'nowrap',
    textOverflow: 'ellipsis',
    display: 'block',
    overflow: 'hidden',
    marginY: '1rem',
  }))

Ps.: If I define the font-size to be changed in a hover event, using the class '&:hover',the transition will work.

I'm attaching some screen recordings below of the transitions as they worked before, and how they're not working properly now, in that order.

Thanks in advance.
