Angular Validating custom input components in template-driven form

Question

I create a custom text-input component based on Angular Material Form Field

<div class="{{classes}}">
    <mat-form-field appearance="outline">
        <mat-label>{{label}}</mat-label>

        <input matInput 
            #input="ngModel"
            [type]="type" 
            [attr.maxlength]="maxlength" 
            [attr.minlength]="minlength" 
            [placeholder]="placeholder || ''" 
            [(ngModel)]="value" 
            [required]="required" 
            [readonly]="readonly">
        <mat-hint align="end" *ngIf="counter" class="text-sm text-muted">{{input.value.length}}{{maxlength ? '/'+maxlength : ''}}</mat-hint>

        <span matTextPrefix *ngIf="textPrefix">{{textPrefix}}</span>
        <span matTextSuffix *ngIf="textSuffix">{{textSuffix}}</span>

        <mat-hint *ngIf="hint" class="text-sm text-muted">{{hint}}</mat-hint>
        <mat-error *ngIf="input.invalid && (input.dirty || input.touched)" class="text-sm">
            <!-- Some error messages here -->
    </mat-form-field>
</div>

import { Component, Input, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { NgForm } from '@angular/forms';
import { AbstractValueAccessor, MakeProvider } from "../form.accessor";

@Component({
  selector: 'text-input',
  templateUrl: './text-input.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['../form-field.component.css'],
  providers: [MakeProvider(TextInputComponent)]
})
export class TextInputComponent extends AbstractValueAccessor {

  @ViewChild('input', {static: false}) input: NgForm

  @Input() label:string=""; 
 /* other inputs here */

}

AbstractValueAccessor is inspired from this anwer

When I tried using it in a form It is not detected in form control

<form #formCtrl="ngForm">
    <text-input [(ngModel)]="entity.name" #name="ngModel"
        label="Name" [required]="true">
    </text-input>
    <!-- Other similar fields -->
    <button (click)="submit()">Send</button>
</form>

submit only contains console.log(formCtrl) for debugging and its showing empty controls

NOTE: I can't switch to reactive forms and use formControlName attribute
