axis.dateTimeLabelFormats works a little bit different. In the first place, Highcharts tries to guess what is 'the best unit' of your data and, e.g. if it is a day, it will format it according to day property from dateTimeLabelFormats.

If you want to just format axis labels, you can use axis.labels.format and specify a format like this:

xAxis: {
  type: 'datetime',
  labels: {
    format: '{value:%Y-%b-%e}'
  },
