I just tried, it indeed does not work with that line only.
You have then to call `epa-file-name-regexp-update' to make it works.

cf describe-variable epa-file-name-regexp
,----
| epa-file-name-regexp is a variable defined in `epa-hook.el'.
| Its value is 
| "\\.gpg\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'"
| 
| Documentation:
| Regexp which matches filenames to be encrypted with GnuPG.
| 
| If you set this outside Custom while epa-file is already enabled, you
| have to call `epa-file-name-regexp-update' after setting it to
| properly update file-name-handler-alist.  Setting this through Custom
| does that automatically.
