Always with a new, modified,refilled or unknown shaker: pour some on your hand first. Always.

Didn't grandma tell you to put rice in the shaker?
You season straight from the shaker? Gotta go through my palm first. The palm imparts flavor.
I do ours before Thanksgiving every year, little glass jars with shiny metal shaker tops. Yeah, they have to be super dry before refilling.
To my horror I looked again and it's covered in salt crystals again, so I guess it was not dry enough
When I do mine, rather than soaking them until the salt dissolves, I'll put a bunch of elbow grease in with a damp paper towel. It's less washing and more polishing. Perhaps the limited moisture from the paper towel helps? The dry part of the paper towel helps remove moisture as I clean it?
SAY MOISTURE ONE MORE TIME.
The lid has plastic parts for a spout and you can't get into where the plastic and metal join or the hinge of the spout, that's where the salt send to have set up base.
Sorry about your breakfast.
