I looked at stacktrace and your code here. I agree with the comment about the Map. The same thing can happen with strings. I am not sure what the map does but you might be able to that in Spring properties. If not, either create a class to hold the map and make that class the Bean or provide a name to the Bean and make sure you use that when you inject the bean.
I think we are going to need a copy of code that does not work. I use Spring Boot and Camel pretty extensively and while it is not without issues, it was usually due to me doing something probably I shouldnt have or there was a better way. :) Also, as suggested, use constructor injection. The version of Boot you are using makes it very easy - all you need is a single constructor on your managed object (to include the RouteBuilder). And if you use Lombok, it is even easier.
