How to redirect established connections when switching to a backup provider?

I do ECMP_load_balancing_with_masquerade After
disconnecting one of the cables, the default gateway changes correctly.
When you start ping 8.8.8.8 with Mikrotik and disconnect one of the cables, there are 1-2 timeouts and the ping continues.
When you run ping 8.8.8.8 from a client machine and disconnect one of the cables, the ping stops. If ping is restarted, it will work without problems. If, after stopping the ping, insert the pulled out cable back - the ping will start again.
As I understand it, already established connections are not redirected to the new gateway.
Is it possible in principle?
Is there a way to do this without OSPF and the like?
-------
I tried PCC according to the instructions.
As I understand it, PCC allows this.

With policy routing it is possible to force all traffic to the specific gateway, even if traffic is destined to the host (other that gateway) from the connected networks.

But the result is the same.
CHADNT?

@nimbo

but just using different Distance for 0.0.0.0/0 and ping gateway is no longer an option?

Alternatively, use a script that will clear all connections:
foreach i in=[/ip firewall connection find] do={/ip firewall connection remove $i}
