transaction build-estimate fails to balance tx with no txouts #1199

Description

When building a tx with no txouts using transaction build-estimate, the command doesn't seem to take fee into account, and fails on producing an unbalanced tx.
I suspect that the command doesn't subtract the estimated fee from change amount.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run
cardano-cli conway transaction build-estimate  \
  --out-file test_transfer_all_build_estimate_ci0_ldiczg_tx.body  \
  --shelley-key-witnesses 1  \
  --byron-key-witnesses 0  \
  --reference-script-size 0  \
  --total-utxo-value 150000000  \
  --tx-in "cb62fe02892162ada0b928a1a3804e8d22ac7264ce6b2678f662f56cea206ac7#1"  \
  --change-address addr_test1vpflsydzu57ek98a43q3sdzcjnsnmx2ws89wcytmn424tfc3qus2x  \
  --protocol-params-file pparams-isbt.json

and see the error:

Command failed: transaction build-estimate
Error: The transaction does not balance in its use of assets. The net balance of the transaction is negative: -164181 Lovelace. The usual solution is to provide more inputs, or inputs with more assets.

Additional Context

I'm using the latest cardano-cli master (3b9a553)
