'server_name  _ "";' does not make the server default.
You have to set default server for listen pair:

     server {
-  	listen *:80;
+  	listen *:80  default;
        server_name  _ "";
        return 444;
     }

However, if nginx has got empty request it will not run "return 444",
you will see 400 in access_log.
