client gets disconnected when using Maxscale

hi,
connection is dropped by MariaDB when using maxscale while all works fine if connecting directly to the db.
connection is from an Azure VM:
OS: Windows Server 2022 Datacenter
MariaDB client: 11.2.2 and also tested with 11.1.4

Maxscale server:
MXS version: 23.08.03
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.9 (Ootpa)

Database server:
MariaDB version: 10.11.8-MariaDB-log
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.9 (Ootpa)

all MariaDB products are community

below the log info from maxscale (no error)

attached is the tcpdump and an audit log image

After connecting when any command is tried (select,show,etc.) the client gets the following error:
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to server at 'reading authorization packet', system error: 0

All works fine if Maxscale is bypassed and client connects directly to the db
