Hashing functions checks for argon2id even when driver set to bcrypt

Question

I am upgrading an older project to Laravel 5.7. User passwords were hashed with bcrypt previously. On the new setup hashing driver is set to bcrypt in the config file but still getting the following error.

local.ERROR: This password does not use the Argon2id algorithm. {"exception":"[object] (RuntimeException(code: 0): This password does not use the Argon2id algorithm. at vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Hashing/Argon2IdHasher.php:20

Auth::attempt() returns true but login is not persisted on redirect.
