You're not doing anything wrong, it's just that the value of
primary_conninfo is left untouched after promotion. It is however
ignored if the server is a primary; see:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-replication.html#GUC-PRIMARY-CONNINFO

which states: "This setting has no effect if the server is not in standby mode."
