Istio outboundTrafficPolicy REGISTRY_ONLY not working

I am new to Istio and I was trying to configure the cluster so that all outbound external requests are blocked. To do that, I added the below configuration to Istio Operator

meshConfig:
accessLogFile: /dev/stdout
defaultConfig:
proxyMetadata: {}
enablePrometheusMerge: true
outboundTrafficPolicy:
mode: REGISTRY_ONLY
and restarted the pods. But, still the application pods are able to make calls external to the cluster.

This is how the listeners look like. I did not find BlackholeCluster here. May I request some help in debugging and fixing this issue.
