Replace powers with a sequence

Hello friends!
Consider a binomial symbolic expression like (x-1)^3 and a symbolic vector e of size 3 (e=sym('e',[1 3]) ). Of
course, in my real problem I have 'n' instead of 3 but I just used 3 here for simplicity. If expand (x-1)^3 then I get
(x-1)^3 = x^3-3*x^3+3*x-1;
which includes all powers of x from 0 to 3, as we know. Now, I need to substitute x with e(1), x^2 with e(2), x^3 with e(3).
Unfortunately, I cannot use 'subs' command here since when I try to assign x with e(1), it automatically assigns x^2 with
e(1)^2 and x^3 with e(1)^3 which is not what I want (similarly, if I try to asign x^2 with e(2) it might interfere with other powers
of x).
Ant idea?
Thanks!

If by e(k) you mean exp(k), isn't the replacement equivalent to what you want? It might not look tidy, but it is the same number.

syms x
c = sym2poly(expand((x-1)^3));
e = sym('e',[3,1]);
c_times_e = c*e
