Try instead:

sudo apt install php8.0-curl
sudo apt install php8.0-mbstring
sudo apt install php8.0-xml

php-curl that you installed:

This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default PHP version (currently 8.1).

So php-curl usually "links" to the latest php version installed, in my case 8.1. (Meaning it only installed php8.1-curl)

If this does not enable the above modules automatically, try:

sudo phpenmod -v 8.0 curl

Syntax

phpenmod -v <PHP VERSION> <MODULE NAME>

Alternatively, if this does not work, you could try to look at "/etc/php/8.0/apache2/conf.d" and symlink the modules ini files there to enable them.
