Azure Kubernetes - Istio Egress not working

Question

I have used the following configuration to setup the Istio

cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
metadata:
  namespace: istio-system
  name: istio-control-plane
spec:
  # Use the default profile as the base
  # More details at: https://istio.io/docs/setup/additional-setup/config-profiles/
  profile: default
  # Enable the addons that we will want to use
  addonComponents:
    grafana:
      enabled: true
    prometheus:
      enabled: true
    tracing:
      enabled: true
    kiali:
      enabled: true
  values:
    global:
      # Ensure that the Istio pods are only scheduled to run on Linux nodes
      defaultNodeSelector:
        beta.kubernetes.io/os: linux
    kiali:
      dashboard:
        auth:
          strategy: anonymous
  components:
    egressGateways:
    - name: istio-egressgateway
      enabled: true
EOF

I could see that the istio services

kubectl get svc -n istio-system

I have deployed the sleep app

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.7/samples/sleep/sleep.yaml
-n akv2k8s-test

and have deployed the ServiceEntry

kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: ServiceEntry
metadata:
  name: httpbin-ext
  namespace: akv2k8s-test
spec:
  hosts:
  - httpbin.org
  ports:
  - number: 80
    name: http
    protocol: HTTP
  resolution: DNS
  location: MESH_EXTERNAL
EOF

and tried accessing the external URL

export SOURCE_POD=$(kubectl get -n  akv2k8s-test  pod -l app=sleep -o jsonpath='{.items..metadata.name}')
kubectl exec "$SOURCE_POD"  -n  akv2k8s-test  -c sleep -- curl -sI http://httpbin.org/headers | grep  "HTTP/"; 

however I could not see any logs reported on the proxy

kubectl logs "$SOURCE_POD" -n  akv2k8s-test -c istio-proxy | tail

as per the documentation I should see this

however I don't see the header

am I missing something here?
