You need to make the call on behalf of the connected account — right now it gives an error because it's looking for the bank account on your Stripe account, not the connected one.

https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication

$payout = \Stripe\Payout::create([
    'amount' => 500,
    'currency' => 'aud',
    'description' => 'first payout payment transfer on stripe',
    'destination' => $bank_id,
    'method' => 'instant',
    'source_type' => 'bank_account',
    'statement_descriptor' => 'first payout payment transfer on stripe ',
],
["stripe_account" => "{{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}}"]); // value like "acct_xxx"
