What does this merge request do and why?

refactor: swap provider overriding for mocks

In #511 (closed) we decided to move away from Provider overriding (https://python-dependency-injector.ets-labs.org/providers/overriding.html) since it's prone to hiding runtime bugs. We switch instead to relying on unittest.mock to simulate calls to 3rd party models in tests.
