Unable to authenticate user after password creation

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have created Elasticsearch built-in users password with:

bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive

I set for every user password asdfasdf. All successfuly:

Initiating the setup of passwords for reserved users elastic,apm_system,kibana,kibana_system,logstash_system,beats_system,remote_monitoring_user.
You will be prompted to enter passwords as the process progresses.

Changed password for user [kibana]
Changed password for user [logstash_system]
Changed password for user [beats_system]
Changed password for user [remote_monitoring_user]
Changed password for user [elastic]

Now, I should be able to get response from Elasticsearch but it does not work:

curl -u elstic:asdfasdf localhost:9200
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"security_exception","reason":"unable to authenticate user [elstic] for REST request [/]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":"Basic realm=\"security\" charset=\"UTF-8\""}}],"type":"security_exception","reason":"unable to authenticate user [elstic] for REST request [/]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":"Basic realm=\"security\" charset=\"UTF-8\""}},"status":401}

I running it in docker and mount port to localhost. I used default configuration of ES, this is my compose file:

version: '3.7'

services:
  elasticsearch:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.9.2
    ports:
      - 9300:9300
      - 9200:9200
    environment:
      - discovery.type=single-node
      - "xpack.security.enabled=true"
      - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m"

Maybe I am missing something but cant see what, in my opinion, it should work.

typo in your curl?

curl -u elstic:asdfasdf localhost:9200

should be
curl -u elastic:asdfasdf localhost:9200
..........^
