Eclipse-mosquitto "Address not available"

I am new to mqtt and am trying to simply start a local instance with which I can test.

When executing

docker run -it -p 1883:1883 --restart always -v mosquitto.conf:/home/juliette/mosquito.conf --name mqtt eclipse-mosquitto:2.0.7  

I get the following output:

1615963221: mosquitto version 2.0.7 starting  1615963221: Config loaded from /mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf.  1615963221: Starting in local only mode. Connections will only be possible from clients running on this machine.  1615963221: Create a configuration file which defines a listener to allow remote access.  1615963221: Opening ipv4 listen socket on port 1883.  1615963221: Opening ipv6 listen socket on port 1883.  1615963221: Error: Address not available  1615963221: mosquitto version 2.0.7 running  

and cannot connect with a mqtt-client:

mqtt sub --topic test  Server closed connection without DISCONNECT.  

From what I've found the error apparently happens when no listener is configured but I did configure one, this is my mosquito.conf:

listener 1883  allow_anonymous true  persistence true  persistence_location /mosquitto/data/  log_dest file /mosquitto/log/mosquitto.log  port 1883  

I also tried changing the port to 8883 because in one post someone mentioned that a larger port might solve the problem but that also didn't work.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
