What, specifically, do you mean by "transparent", here?
I think that the nginx proxy_bind config is intended so that the upstream
server is fooled into thinking that it is talking to the original client,
instead of to nginx.
(And to achieve that, you need that outside-of-nginx networking is set
up to get the packets to the right places.)
It is not clear to me that your idea of "transparent" is the same as that.

This does not look to me like it will do what you want.
From the nginx documentation:
"""
In order for this parameter to work, it is necessary to run nginx worker
processes with the superuser privileges and configure kernel routing
table to intercept network traffic from the proxied server.
"""
That does not appear to be intercepting the network traffic from the
proxied server.
(And your nginx.conf snippet did not appear to show things running with
the superuser privileges.)

There is "client", "nginx", and "upstream". They all have their own IP
addresses (and ports).
Can you describe your intended connection, from which machine to which
machine using which address and port? That might make it clear whether
what you want is doable.
