I tried replacing it with ExecStopPost, it gets invoked successfully.  But, ExecStopPost cannot be used, since it gets invoked on failed cases too. 

your subject "ExecStop doesn't get called when service crashes" simply
makes no sense at all then  because that's what a failed case is

They are not invoked if the service was never started at all, or in case its start-up failed, for example because any of the commands specified in ExecStart=, ExecStartPre= or ExecStartPost= failed (and weren't prefixed with "-", see above) or timed out. Use ExecStopPost= to invoke commands when a service failed to start up correctly and is shut down again
