The "<VARIANT> (Draft)" built-in Variant that exists is for publishing out Draft versions of Content Classes for testing.
To publish unreleased pages, you would need to create a new Variant and tick the box to "publish unreleased pages". Something to also keep in mind is the automatic clean-up of deleted pages does not function for "Draft" variants.
