There is no type= setting, so it defaults to “plain”:
| type=type
|   The  type of the chroot.  Valid types are ‘plain’, ‘directory’,
|   ‘file’, ‘loopback’, ‘block-device’, ‘btrfs-snapshot’ and ‘lvm-snapshot’.
|   If empty or omitted, the default type is ‘plain’.  Note that ‘plain’
|   chroots do not run setup scripts and mount filesystems; ‘directory’ is
|   recommended for normal use (see “Plain and directory chroots”, below).

Setting type=directory should fix your problem.

HTH,
    Sebastian
