I might guess it's because your masquerade rule does nothing. I'm not
sure though.

Anyways, a typical masquerade rule would specify the source network and
an outgoing interface. For example, I have in my Linux router:

ip saddr 10.0.2.0/24 oifname "enp1s0" masquerade

so for you that would become

ip saddr 192.168.231.0/24 oifname "wlxe8de27a5ab1c" masquerade
