Spring boot Kafka metrics configuration

We have a spring boot microservice using spring-kafka. There are a couple of Kafka listeners and producers and the Kafka related metrics are successfully presented at the actuator endpoint. But when adding another maven dependency with custom metrics, the Kafka related metrics provided by spring boot are removed. I suspect it's related to introducing new MeterRegistry bean, but overriding it with the same bean definition as in NoOpMeterRegistryConfiguration in spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure module of spring-boot didn't help. I've also tried debugging KafkaMetricsAutoConfiguration, and it looks like all the beans are successfully instantiated. Can somebody with more experience with spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure help me to understand the default configurations for Kafka related metrics, please?

The spring configuration in the new maven dependency is pretty simple, just ProducerFactory and MeterRegistry beans are defined

@Bean
@Primary
public ProducerFactory<Object, Object> producerFactory(MessageCounter messageCounter) {
    Map<String, Object> configs = this.kafkaProperties.buildProducerProperties();
    configs.put("interceptor.classes", Collections.singletonList(RecordSuccessfullySentInterceptor.class));
    configs.put("message.counter.bean", messageCounter);
    DefaultKafkaProducerFactory<Object, Object> producerFactory = new DefaultKafkaProducerFactory(configs);
    producerFactory.setTransactionIdPrefix(this.transactionId);
    return producerFactory;
}

@Bean
public MeterRegistry meterRegistry() {
    return new PrometheusMeterRegistry(PrometheusConfig.DEFAULT);
}

@Bean({"retryProducerFactory"})
public ProducerFactory<Object, Object> retryProducerFactory(MessageCounter messageCounter) {
    Map<String, Object> configs = this.kafkaProperties.buildProducerProperties();
    configs.put("interceptor.classes", Collections.singletonList(RecordSuccessfullySentInterceptor.class));
    configs.put("value.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
    configs.put("message.counter.bean", messageCounter);
    DefaultKafkaProducerFactory<Object, Object> producerFactory = new DefaultKafkaProducerFactory(configs);
    producerFactory.setTransactionIdPrefix(this.transactionId);
    return producerFactory;
}

It may be possible some transient dependency is messing up spring boot autoconfiguration for Kafka related metrics though.
