Sorry, my bad. I thought 'git submodule sync' changes only 'submodule.$name.url' in main repository config, but it also changes the 'remote.origin.url' in submodule's config. I indeed ran 'git submodule sync', that's why the default url was used even though 'submodule.$name.url' had a different value.
