I know this is an old question, but I faced the same problem recently in Laravel 7 application.
To make renaming columns work I used a tip from this answer where instead of composer require doctrine/dbal
I have issued composer require doctrine/dbal:^2.12.1
because the latest version of doctrine/dbal still throws an error.
Just keep in mind that if you already use a higher version, this answer might not be appropriate for you.
