tls 1.2 handshake timeout docker container

Question

I'm working on a fresh ubuntu 18.04.01 in which I installed Docker version 18.09.1, build 4c52b90 by following the official install guide. I'm experiencing a weird issue regarding TLS 1.2

On the host I can curl to any URL with https without a problem. Here is an example with github, but works just fine with google and such.

$ curl --version
curl 7.58.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.58.0 OpenSSL/1.1.0g zlib/1.2.11 libidn2/2.0.4 libpsl/0.19.1 (+libidn2/2.0.4) nghttp2/1.30.0 librtmp/2.3

...

On a docker container I'm unable to reach https://github.org and others, while https://google.com for instance works just fine.

Here is curl version and connection to google

$ docker run -it --rm ubuntu:18.04 bash
$ root@66c5a69546fc:/# curl --version

here is the curl to github that will eventually end in an handshake timeout

$ root@c69bad8b7d95:/# curl -v https://github.com
* Rebuilt URL to: https://github.com/
*   Trying 140.82.118.3...
* TCP_NODELAY set

*   CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
  CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
* TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello (1):

while both ping and curl in http work fine

Is there a docker setting that I'm missing? I tried setting in daemon.json a different DNS, changing the bip for docker but nothing seems to work

Thank you for the help Alberto
