ModuleNotFoundError but path is in sys.path

I have the following project structure:

my-project
  src
    __init__.py
    main.py
    utils
      __init__.py
      configs
    modules
      __init__.py
      other_module.py

My main.py script is as follows:

from pathlib import Path
import sys, os
print("cwd: {}".format(os.getcwd()))
# appending directory to sys.path
sys.path.append(os.getcwd())
# printing to check if it worked
for p in sys.path:
    print(p)
from src.utils.configs import read_config

if __name__=='__main__':
   # do stuff
   pass

The run keeps failing with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'src.utils'

I think this could be due to another module being called src. Below my verbose output:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'src.utils'

A few points:

1. Please don't mark it as duplicate before reading it: I looked at many other answers and none works.
2. Please don't suggest writing

    from utils.configs import read_configs
   

   This only solves the problem for main.py, but I have to import src.utils.configs from other files (like other_module.py)
3. Why rearranging the file structure is not practical: If I want to import a "configs" module from all submodules, this would need to be a subfolder of all submodules and would need to be duplicate in all submodules, like this:

my-project
  src
    __init__.py
    main.py
    utils
      __init__.py
      configs
    module1
      __init__.py
      other_module.py
      utils
        __init__.py
        configs
     module2
      __init__.py
      other_module.py
      utils
        __init__.py
        configs
