I guess MODE_INHERITABLETHREADLOCAL doesn't work correctly with thread pool.

As a possible solution you can try to subclass ThreadPoolTaskExecutor and override its methods to propagate SecurityContext manually, and then declare that executor instead of , something like this:

public void execute(final Runnable r) {
    final Authentication a = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();

    super.execute(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            try {
                SecurityContext ctx = SecurityContextHolder.createEmptyContext();
                ctx.setAuthentication(a);
                SecurityContextHolder.setContext(ctx);
                r.run();
            } finally {
                SecurityContextHolder.clearContext();
            }
        }
    });
}
