BUG: Hexbin plots does not display x label and xtick labels in pandas 1.3.3

[stelios-c]

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(1000, 2), columns=['a', 'b'])
df.plot.hexbin(x='a', y='b');
#thanks @rabernat

Issue Description

Hexbin plots does not display x label and xtick labels. This has been a bug in the past, see closed issue #10678 , it must have been fixed with #20446 and must have been introduced again later.

Expected Behavior

Expect to see 'a' as the x label and numbers under the x axis ticks. This is only achievable with workaround:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(1000, 2), columns=['a', 'b'])
df.plot.hexbin(x='a', y='b',sharex=False);

This looks fixed now (I have pandas main branch and matplotlib 3.7.1). Could use a test.
