Repro

async function main(){
  try {
    throw "foo"
  } catch(e) {
    return Promise.resolve("bar");
  }
}

{
  "rules": {
    "no-return-await": ["error"],
    "@typescript-eslint/return-await": ["error", "in-try-catch"]
  }
}

Expected Result

No error

Actual Result

Returning an awaited promise is required in this context. (line 5)

Additional Info

This issue can cause this rule to be in conflict with eslint's no-return-await. Adding the await to resolve @typescript-eslint/return-await will then trigger no-return-await

function hasErrorHandler(node): Determines whether a thrown error from this node will be caught/handled within this function rather than immediately halting this function. For example, a statement in a try block will always have an error handler. A statement in a catch block will only have an error handler if there is also a finally block.
