You should be able to get a decent crust with that baking time.
Are you sticking olive oil in the dough? That can make it softer.
Sourdough is generally baked at a higher temperature than standard loaves, though I've not ever baked one for over 55 mins myself........well apart from when I went out and forgot to turn the oven off 😬

Depends on the bread but for a standard bloomer, about 40-45 mins at 250.
Just doing a bit of reading, sourdough banneton loaves (what I'm aiming for) get done at 220 for an hour and sometimes a bit more at a lower temp after that, leaving to cool in oven etc.
