Where is the conflict? Maybe is some other dependency?

Please, follow instructions in the docs: https://docs.spring.io/spring-kafka/docs/2.8.1/reference/html/#update-deps.

Consider to use the latest Spring for Apache Kafka in that generation: https://spring.io/projects/spring-kafka#learn.

It looks like something brings incompatible Zookeeper version and we have a special comment for that in the docs for the mentioned version:

<!-- needed if downgrading to Apache Kafka 2.8.1 -->

    <exclusion>
        <groupId>org.apache.zookeeper</groupId>
        <artifactId>zookeeper</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
</exclusions>

UPDATE

This pom works for me:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.3</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>so-73113638</artifactId>

<description>so-73113638</description>
<properties>

    <kafka.version>2.8.1</kafka.version>
</properties>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.kafka</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-kafka</artifactId>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.kafka</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-kafka-test</artifactId>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

I just provide a kafka.version property and rely on the Spring Boot feature to manage deps for me.
