jms.topic producer autocreation fails using qpid-jms client

I have an Artemis broker instance with default configuration.

bin/artemis create --user admin --password admin --role admin --allow-anonymous amq7i0

I am running the following Java program which uses qpid-jms to connect to broker and call session.createProducer with a topic. Since jms topic autocreation is on by default, I expect the topic to be created. But this does not happen.

     ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new JmsConnectionFactory("amqp://127.0.0.1:61616");
      Connection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
      connection.start();
      Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE);

         String name = "jms.topic.mytopic"
         Destination destination = new JmsTopic(name);
         producer = session.createProducer(destination);
         assertNotNull(consumer);

      producer.close();
      session.close();
      connection.close();

The code above fails with exception javax.jms.InvalidDestinationException: AMQ219002: target address does not exist [condition = amqp:not-found]
