Axon stores events as XML instead of JSON

I'm new on Axon framework and i want to configure Axon in order to store events as JSON. I'm using Spring-Boot and, as per documentation, i set some key/value in a .properties file

I expected to see events stored as JSON but i keep seeing XML in the serializedPayload of the MongoDB event store. I think I have configured the serilializers correctly but obviously I'm doing something wrong
