Chart not working with external postgres database.

Gents,
I am experiencing an issue here and I am sure I am just missing something really small. I am in the process of test driving kong in my dev Kubernetes cluster. Kong configuration documentation actually explains that postgres and cassandra are the two databases supported. This chart actually has a postgres database as a dependency which can be used to run kong. The chart configuration runs kong in a databaseless mode using configmaps.
My use case is to run kong using an external already configured postgres database. The documentation states that one needs to add database configuration parameters in the env section of the values.yaml file to achieve that. I have done exactly that but unfortunately, I am not able to get my db initialized by kong. The job that is supposed to initialize my DB hangs on waiting for database. Everything works well when I enabled the database chart and run, and also when I run in databaseless mode. But just hangs when I run using my external database.
Here is my values.yaml file:
# Default values for Kong's Helm Chart.
# Declare variables to be passed into your templates.
#
# Sections:
# - Kong parameters
# - Ingress Controller parameters
# - Postgres sub-chart parameters
