You seem to have a misunderstanding of what tcp_keepalive is for.  It
does not kill a backend that is in the midst of a query.  A backend will
terminate when it is waiting for a client command and it sees that the
connection has been lost --- which is what a TCP timeout will cause to
happen.  But your example backends are not waiting for client commands.

If you want backends to abort live queries before they finish, use
statement_timeout.
