Can't configure Kubernetes nginx ingress basic auth - nginx

Question

I'm trying to setup basic auth for my test ingress rule and I couldn't figure out why it doesn't work. I can still access the site without a password prompt.
Versions:
EKS 1.16
Helm chart nginx-ingress-0.5.2
Nginx version 1.7.2(also tried with 1.7.0 and latest)
basic-auth secret content:
kubectl get secret basic-auth -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
auth: Zm9vOiRhcHIxJHZ4RzVoc1VQJE1KZmpNcEQ2WHdPV1RaaTFDQUdlYTEK
kind: Secret
metadata:
creationTimestamp: "2020-07-02T04:46:58Z"
name: basic-auth
namespace: default
resourceVersion: "8252"
selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/default/secrets/basic-auth
uid: e3b8a6d3-009b-4a4c-ad8b-b460381933d8
type: Opaque
Ingress rule:
Ingress rule:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: hello-world-ing
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
# type of authentication
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: basic
# name of the secret that contains the user/password definitions
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: basic-auth
# message to display with an appropriate context why the authentication is required
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-realm: 'Authentication Required - foo'
spec:
rules:
- host: test.*****.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: docker-hello-world-svc
servicePort: 8088
Also I haven't found basic-auth section within nginx controller configuration file for hello-world-ing service:
kubectl -n nginx-ingress exec -it dev-nginx-ingress-6d5f459bf5-s4qqg -- cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/default-hello-world-ing.conf

}

I haven't found anything suspicious in controller logs.

Basic auth works fine with another helm repo stable/nginx-ingress instead of nginx-stable/nginx-ingress.
the nginx-stable repository is for the commercial Nginx/NginxPlus that uses different configurations while the official Helm stable/nginx-ingress uses the open source nginx ingress.
