Unable to push to docker hub from github action despite of proper image tag

Question

Here is my workflow file:

name: Integration

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: run docker-build with tag
      run: ./docker-build sudipbhandari/springboot-docker-app:$GITHUB_SHA
    - name: list docker images
      run: docker image ls
    - name: Docker Login
      uses: Azure/docker-login@v1
      with:
        login-server: 'docker.io'
        username: '{{secrets.DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME}}'
        password: '{{secrets.DOCKER_HUB_PASSWORD}}'
    - name : docker push
      run: docker push sudipbhandari/springboot-docker-app:$GITHUB_SHA 
    - name: clean up
      run: rm ~/.docker/config.json

Image:

***/springboot-docker-app                  8d0caac294f0e414b88cfe6cc433995ef7ca2f25

Docker push output:

Run docker push ***/springboot-docker-app:$GITHUB_SHA

• Image is properly tagged (username/imagename:tag)
• Docker login is successful to registry (docker.io)

Still I am gettting permission denied.

I locally built and tried to push the image and it works just fine.

docker push sudipbhandari/springboot-docker-app:a
The push refers to repository [docker.io/sudipbhandari/springboot-docker-app]

First, in GitHub go to Setting>Secrets and add two repository secrets for DOCKER_USERNAME and DOCKER_PASSWORD . Then try this:

 - run: 
      echo ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }} | docker login -u ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }} --password-stdin
    env:
      $DOCKER_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
      $DOCKER_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
