HttpSecurity bean could not be found when actuator securing

I am following the description in the link Securing HTTP Endpoints to add the security in my application. I am getting the error that HttpSecurity bean could not be found. The code I added is as below:

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration {
    
    @Bean
    public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.requestMatcher(EndpointRequest.toAnyEndpoint()).authorizeRequests(requests ->
            requests.anyRequest().hasRole("ENDPOINT_ADMIN"));
        http.httpBasic();
        return http.build();
    }
}

Nothing else added. I also have the spring-boot-starter-security added in the pom.xml. But if I extend the class with WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter and by using the overridden configure method, it is working.

Exception is:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'securityFilterChain' defined in class path resource [SecurityConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'securityFilterChain' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate.
