Issue Description

I'm using typescript-eslint in conjunction with eslint-plugin-import. I've migrated to the new flat eslint config format. Here is a minimal reproduction of my issue:

import js from '@eslint/js'
import typescriptPlugin from '@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin'
import typescriptParser from '@typescript-eslint/parser'
import importPlugin from 'eslint-plugin-import'

export default [
  js.configs.recommended,
  {
    files: ['**/*.@(js|ts|jsx|tsx)'],
    plugins: { import: importPlugin },
    rules: {
      ...importPlugin.configs.recommended.rules,
    },
  },
  {
    files: ['**/*.@(ts|tsx)'],
    languageOptions: {
      parser: typescriptParser,
      parserOptions: {
        sourceType: 'module',
        project: './tsconfig.eslint.json',
      },
    },
    settings: {
      ...importPlugin.configs.typescript.settings,
      'import/parsers': {
        '@typescript-eslint/parser': ['.ts', '.tsx', '.mts', '.cts'],
      },
    },
    plugins: {
      '@typescript-eslint': typescriptPlugin,
      import: importPlugin,
    },
    rules: {
      ...typescriptPlugin.configs.recommended.rules,
      ...typescriptPlugin.configs.strict.rules,
      ...importPlugin.configs.recommended.rules,
      ...importPlugin.configs.typescript.rules,
    },
  },
]

Naturally, I run eslint on the eslint.config.js file itself, which gives the following errors:

ts-eslint-import-bug/eslint.config.js
  2:30  error  Unable to resolve path to module '@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin'  import/no-unresolved
  3:30  error  Unable to resolve path to module '@typescript-eslint/parser'         import/no-unresolved

✖ 2 problems (2 errors, 0 warnings)

This wasn't happening pre-6.0 - importing these modules worked without any issue.

I think the underlying issue is import-js/eslint-plugin-import#2132 and import-js/eslint-plugin-import#2703. It seems that starting in v6.0 of this repo, there is no longer a main field in package.json.

I tested my theory by manually adding "main": "./dist/index.js" to node_modules/@typescript-eslint/parser/package.json and node_modules/@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin/package.json, and this resolved the eslint errors.

It seems this is also semi-related to #7300, wherein it was decided to not re-add the main field to package.json. Perhaps my issue can act as another data point supporting re-adding it?

Disclaimer: I understand that this is not a "bug" in typescript-eslint. Hopefully support for exports will come to eslint-plugin-import, but until then, it seems like this issue could be more easily be resolved here? (Would @ljharb like to chime in?)
