Assistance Required: Issues Creating External Table in Legacy Hive Metastore

I am currently trying to create an external table with an external location in the legacy Hive metastore. As part of this process, I have also created the necessary secret scope using below steps, but I am still encountering issues when attempting to create the table.
 
steps used to create a scope:
Step 1: databricks secrets create-scope --scope myScope
Step 2: databricks secrets put-secret myScope storage_account_key --string-value "My Storage Account Key"
Step 3: Create table with below script
CREATE External TABLE if not exists hive_metastore.test_ext.employees (
  employee_id INT,
  first_name STRING,
  last_name STRING,
  email STRING,
  phone_number STRING,
  hire_date DATE,
  job_id STRING,
  salary DECIMAL (10, 2),
  commission DECIMAL (5, 2),
  manager_id INT,
  department INT
)
USING csv
LOCATION 'abfss://demorkco@demorkstr.dfs.core.windows.net/employees.csv';
 
Error: Failure to initialize configuration for storage account demorkstr.dfs.core.windows.net: Invalid configuration value detected for fs.azure.account.key

Could you please assist me in troubleshooting this matter? Any guidance on the correct steps or configurations would be greatly appreciated.
