ASP.NET Core form POST results in a HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type response

by

Sending a form POST HTTP request (Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded) to the below controller results into a HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type response.

public class MyController : Controller
{
    [HttpPost]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Submit([FromBody] MyModel model)
    {
        //...
    }
}

Form post HTTP headers:

POST /submit HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com:1337
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 219
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache
Origin: https://example.com:1337

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

This used to work with ASP.NET MVC 5 on .NET 4.6.
