These rules don't do anything (it matches udp 5060, but no action is
given).  I suspect this from xtables-translate, which did not understand
the -j CT --helper sip rule.

This needs something like:
table ip raw {
   ct helper sip {
     type "sip" protocol udp
   }
   chain prerouting {
       meta l4proto udp udp dport 5060 ct helper set "sip"
   }

# same for output
}
