Hi there,
It sounds like something outside of your nginx is preventing the traffic
from getting to your nginx.
In that case, no nginx config can help you; but there are other things
you can perhaps look at.

Do your nginx logs indicate that the 443 traffic actually gets to this
nginx, and not to a random server that allows port-443 connections?
Perhaps use "curl" to make a request, and confirm that the response is
from this nginx.

Do you have any local firewall running on the nginx machine that might
block or otherwise limit inbound traffic?

If that test is "from the nginx machine itself", then a local firewall
probably won't block it. If that test is from another machine on the home
network, then a local firewall that only allows same-subnet connections
would allow this, but not allow your external test.
"iptables -L -v -n" might show things there; or whatever local firewall
command your system might use.

I would probably try to run "tcpdump" on the nginx server, to see what
port-80 traffic that machine sees when the connection is attempted.
(And maybe look at what is seen for port-443 traffic as well, for
comparison.)
Good luck with it,
