Apache Camel returns NullPointerException when calling CXF Endpoint. This is failing after upgrading camel from 2.X to 3.0

Question

I have a CXFEndpoint as below

        CxfEndpoint cxfEndpoint =new CxfEndpoint();
        cxfEndpoint.setAddress("http://localhost:9201/mock");
        cxfEndpoint.setDataFormat(DataFormat.CXF_MESSAGE);
        cxfEndpoint.setWsdlURL(serviceSoapOutboundWsdl);
        cxfEndpoint.setContinuationTimeout(continutionTimeout);
        cxfEndpoint.getOutFaultInterceptors().add(postOutFaultInterceptor);
        .....
        .....
        exchange.setProperty("cxfEndpoint", cxfEndpoint);

I call this endpoint from my route builder as below .toD("${exchangeProperty.cxfEndpoint}")

I am getting following exception

Exception occured while sending outbound message to Receiver::: org.apache.camel.FailedToCreateProducerException: Failed to create Producer for endpoint: http://localhost:9201/mock. Reason: java.lang.NullPointerException

I am receiving this error after upgrading camel from 2.X to 3.0. Any inputs to solve this issue will be appreciated.
