[Python] converting jupyter notebook (.ipynb) with to HTML using nbconvert - plotly figures...

I have the following code in a notebook cell:

import plotly.express as px

fig = px.scatter(x=[1,2,3], y=[1,2,3])
fig.show()


and I'm trying to convert it to HTML, like this:

jupyter nbconvert --to html --execute try.ipynb


The HTML I get does not display the plotly figure. It does display markdown, code, and figures generated using other packages.
Based on previous answers, I've tried adding:

import plotly.io as pio
pio.renderers.default = "notebook_connected"


and also running:

jupyter nbconvert --to html --execute --template classic --embed-images try.ipynb


but nothing worked.
Interestingly, if I set the default renderer to svg:

pio.renderers.default = "svg"


it shows in the HTML. But I want my figures to be interactive.

Any idea what might be going wrong?
Please note that the code above is just a minimal example. In practice I have multiple figures, tables, and markdown that I wish to include in a HTML report.
