Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

This is not a bug. Jet engines can start up without the electrical fuel pumps running. The fuel will be fed by gravity and the mechanical fuel pumps. Remains only the question if the ECAM should show a message.

You’re right. Can be closed

I once forgot the fuel pumps in the A321 and got the ECAM messages during takeoff.

Engines which are under wings can function without pumps.

Closed since a solution has been marked and as per OP request.
