Module Federation not working without barrel imports?

When I removed barrel imports (index.ts) from tsconfig.base.json and replace it by asterisk I got errors Error: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@ng-mf/my-button/*' in

Expected Behavior

Additional Information

When barrel file is used (index.ts) in tsconfig.base.json like below:
"paths": { ... "@ng-mf/my-button": ["libs/shared/my-button/src/index.ts"],
Everything works as expected
