How to capitalize ToC entries using \capitalisewords and \titlecontents

I'm having a formatting issue with my LaTeX document's table of contents (ToC).

Specifically, I'm trying to capitalize the first letter of each word in the ToC entries using the \capitalisewords command from the mfirstuc package. I'm also using the \titlecontents command from the titleps package to format my ToC.

However, \capitalisewords does not seem to work as expected. The ToC entries remain unchanged.

Interestingly, other case-changing commands like \MakeUppercase work perfectly.

Here's a minimal working example (MWE) that demonstrates the issue:

\documentclass{report}\usepackage{lipsum, mfirstuc, titletoc}\usepackage[colorlinks = true]{hyperref}\titlecontents{chapter}% <section-type>  [0pt]% <left>  {\addvspace{.5em}}% <above-code>  {\thecontentslabel\quad\capitalisewords}% <numbered-entry-format>  {\capitalisewords}% <numberless-entry-format>  {\bfseries\hfill\contentspage}% <filler-page-format>  []%\titlecontents{section}[3.8em]{}{\contentslabel{2.3em}\capitalisewords}{\hspace*{-2.3em}\capitalisewords}{\titlerule*[1pc]{.}\contentspage}\titlecontents{subsection}[7em]{}{\contentslabel{3.2em}\capitalisewords}{\hspace*{-3.2em}\capitalisewords}{\titlerule*[1pc]{.}\contentspage}\begin{document}\tableofcontents\chapter*{starred chapter title}\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{starred chapter title}\lipsum[1]\chapter{chapter title}\lipsum[2]\section{section title}\lipsum[3]\subsection{subsection title}\lipsum[3-18]\end{document}

Here is the resulting ToC:
