I2C pull-up

I'm trying to communicate with a ST MicroElectronics ST25R3918 NFC transceiver via I2C. 

I'm using a nrf52dk_nrf52832, NRF SDK 2.4.0 in vscode.

I want to use only external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL (the ST chip  wants to run a 1MHz).

app.overlay has 

&i2c1 {

    status = "okay";
    pinctrl-0 = <&i2c1_default>;
    pinctrl-1 = <&i2c1_sleep>;
   pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
};
with pinctrl of 
i2c1_default: i2c1_default {
        group1 {
            psels = <NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SDA, 0, 30)>,
                <NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SCL, 0,  29)>;
                   
        };
    };

    i2c1_sleep: i2c1_sleep {
        group1 {
            psels = <NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SDA, 0, 30)>,
                <NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SCL, 0, 29)>;
            low-power-enable;
        };
    };
I believe that the internal pull-ups (13.5K) are enabled, but I can't find the appropriate pinctrl statement to disable them.
Can you please point me in the right direction?
