I found another way to achieve the same thing with much less code and complexity. You can simply use a BeanPostProcessor to get the SecureChannelProcessor and InsecureChannelProcessor and then set your own entry point on them. That way, you can still use the defaults on everything else.

The BeanPostProcessor:

@Component
public class ChannelProcessorsPostProcessor implements BeanPostProcessor {

    @Override
    public Object postProcessAfterInitialization(final Object bean, final String beanName) throws BeansException {

        if (bean instanceof SecureChannelProcessor) ((SecureChannelProcessor)bean).setEntryPoint(new MyEntryRetryPoint("https://", 443));
        else if (bean instanceof InsecureChannelProcessor) ((InsecureChannelProcessor)bean).setEntryPoint(new MyEntryRetryPoint("http://", 80));

        return bean;
    }

    @Override
    public Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(final Object bean, final String beanName) throws BeansException {

        return bean;
    }
}
