If you believe in the story of the Exodus, the ancestors of all Jews were in Egypt, not just Sephardim. As for the first Jewish communities in Egypt (that would eventually become the Mizrahi Jewish Egyptian population), these began to crop up during the Ptolemaic Greek period. While the Ptolemies used the term "Pharaoh" to describe themselves, they were Greek both ethnically and in ruling-style.
