So with a help of @MatPag answer is:

app:endIconMode="custom"
app:endIconDrawable="@drawable/custom_icon"

and actually on API29 it is working without app:endIconMode="custom", haven't tested on other API's.

Changing background is only working for Spinner widget, but here is TextInputLayout with ExposeDropDownMenu style – Antonis Radz Dec 16 '19 at 13:40
you need to create theme from extend parent theme "TextInputLayout.FilledBox.Dense.ExposeDropDownMenu" extend this parent theme and set your background in this. – Abhishek Hirapara Dec 16 '19 at 13:42
No, it is not working this way. Answer is in comment under question – Antonis Radz Dec 16 '19 at 13:43
@AntonisRadz Okay, great – Abhishek Hirapara Dec 16 '19 at 13:45
