But then i create the next rule:

what am i doing wrong?

Your first rule is a drop rule. And then this rule is also a drop rule. You have not created any allow rules.

The rule you describe is designed to drop all traffic. It is literally "Drop all egress traffic of any protocol, from any source, to any destination." It is working as intended.

Typically you create drop rules for what you wish to block, and then follow up with a "permit any any" type of rule.
