This can be made much simpler:

server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name _;

error_log /var/log/nginx/000default-error.log error;

return 301 http://doesnotexist.com;
}

This redirects to a new host.

For returning a 404 just do:

return 404;

I think that 444 is preferable. No business trying to access a host
that doesn't exist. But it's up to you.

Enable the debug log and set:

proxy_intercept_errors on;

Trace the requests and see how are the 503s generated.
