Overwriting `filterOperators` for string column not working if type is not defined

Current behavior 😯

We overwrite the filterOperators of almost all default columns using the columnTypes, but if we don't define the column type that we pass to the DataGrid it's not using the overwritten definition of the column.

Expected behavior 🤔

That when we don't define the column type the default column type (which is string?) should use the overwritten column definition.

Steps to reproduce 🕹

Steps:

1. Add columnTypes that overwrites the string type
2. Filter out a certain filter operator
3. Don't define the type of the column in the columns definition
4. Still see the filter

Hi, @TriPSs thanks for raising this. Can you help me understand something - are you looking to disable specific filter operators for the string column type or do you want to create your own custom column type based on the string type and set its filter operators?

If it's the first case then you can just edit the filterOperators without extending the column type. You can check it here -> https://mui.com/x/react-data-grid/filtering/#remove-an-operator.

It's indeed the first point, since we already overwrite almost all of them I thought that would be the nicest place to add it.

Ok, then yes you can just remove the contains filter operator from the string column type. The default column type is string so if no type is set then the grid will assume that that column is of type string. I've prepped a small demo to showcase how to remove that operator from all string columns -> https://codesandbox.io/s/removebuiltinoperators-demo-mui-x-forked-u26k77?file=/demo.tsx hope that helps.

Okay, but should it not also work with the columnTypes? As when I do define the column type to be a string it works as expected.
