443 is for HTTPS (by default). So it's not binding port 443 because port 80 failed, it's just that's the next thing it does after it tries (and eventually gives up) trying to bind your HTTP port.

It appears you have Microsoft IIS install. Uninstall it, disable it, or configure it to use a differnet TCP port than port 80.
