When an exception is thrown it is not getting returned in JSON even with AnnotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver

Here is what i have in my application config.
The response type is always set to text/html when an exception is thrown

@Bean
public StringHttpMessageConverter stringHttpMessageConverter() {
    return new StringHttpMessageConverter();
}

@Bean
public MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter jsonHttpMessageConverter() {
    return new MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter();
}

@Bean
public AnnotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver methodHandlerExceptionResolver() {
    AnnotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver annotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver = new
            AnnotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver();
    annotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver.setOrder(1);
    HttpMessageConverter[] messageConvertersList = {jsonHttpMessageConverter()};
    annotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver.setMessageConverters(messageConvertersList);
    return annotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver;
}

Start with the application configuration shown in the issue, especially AnnotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver and its configured message converters. Reproduce an exception response and inspect why its content type is text/html; done means the exception response is returned as JSON when the resolver is configured.
