When EurekaClient is disabled through the use of property eureka.client.enabled=false, the EurekaLoadBalancerClientConfiguration class is configured as default configuration for LoadBalancerClients via the LoadBalancerEurekaAutoConfiguration by Spring Boot. When a loadbalancer instance is requested via the LoadBalancerClientFactory a NullPointerException occurs in the getZoneFromEureka() method in the EurekaLoadBalancerClientConfiguration. The reason being that both the provided EurekaClientConfig and EurekaInstanceConfig objects are null.
Spring Boot: 2.2.7.RELEASE Spring Cloud: Hoxton.SR5 Spring Cloud Netflix: 2.2.3.RELEASE

@OlgaMaciaszek do you know a workaround to disable Eureka and avoid this EurekaLoadBalancerClientConfiguration exception? We are updating our application to Hoxton.SR5 and this is blocking us to release it because we need to disable or enable Eureka based on some cluster configuration. Because of that we can't just exclude the eureka dependency or exclude that auto configuration.

I doubt there is a workaround right now.

I added the following properties in an EnvironmentPostProcessor. You can also add it to some global yaml. It is not nice, but it works so far. It excludes LoadBalancerEurekaAutoConfiguration if Eureka is disabled. However, if you have some other spring.autoconfigure.excludes, it will get difficult.
properties.put("spring.autoconfigure.exclude",
"${autoconfig-eureka-excludes-${eureka.client.enabled:true}}");
properties.put("autoconfig-eureka-excludes-true", "");
properties.put("autoconfig-eureka-excludes-false",
"org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.loadbalancer.LoadBalancerEurekaAutoConfiguration");
