elasticsearch-curator k8s Helm chart cannot connect to HTTPS - kubernetes

Question

I am using the following Helm chart: https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/incubator/elasticsearch-curator and passing the following in my values.yaml file:
config:
elasticsearch:
hosts:
- my-es-aws-endpoint
port: 443
ssl: True
In the pods logs I see the following exception:
Preparing Action ID: 1, "delete_indices"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 601, in urlopen
chunked=chunked)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 387, in _make_request
six.raise_from(e, None)
File "<string>", line 2, in raise_from
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 383, in _make_request
httplib_response = conn.getresponse()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/http/client.py", line 1331, in getresponse
response.begin()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/http/client.py", line 297, in begin
version, status, reason = self._read_status()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/http/client.py", line 266, in _read_status
raise RemoteDisconnected("Remote end closed connection without"
http.client.RemoteDisconnected: Remote end closed connection without response
It seems like it is trying to connect to HTTP, not HTTPS. I have tested the connection from my k8s cluster to es:443 and it works.
Do you know if HTTPS is not supported or am I doing something wrong?

It looks like I was passing the config in the wrong section and it was not picking it up properly. I passed it here and it works:
# Having config_yaml WILL override the other config
config_yml: |-

client:
hosts:
- my-es-aws-endpoint
port: 443
use_ssl: True
