ACCEPTED ANSWER

Seems I additionally had to set CELERY_EAGER_PROPAGATES_EXCEPTIONS to True.

Celery >=5.3.1 it is CELERY_TASK_EAGER_PROPAGATES.

Under celery 4.0, I had to use CELERY_TASK_EAGER_PROPAGATES

@override_settings(task_always_eager=True, task_eager_propagates=True)
def test_my_task(self):
    pass

is what worked for me using Celery 5.
