Repro Code

/** @deprecated do not use this function */
function x() {
  return {};
}

// caught
x();

// not caught
export default x();

ESLint Config

module.exports = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  rules: {
    "@typescript-eslint/no-deprecated": "error"
  },
};

tsconfig

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "strictNullChecks": true
  }
}

Expected Result

I expected that line export default x(); will show error about using deprecated function, this worked properly with eslint-plugin-deprecation.

Actual Result

Line export default x(); did not show linting error.
