You want something like:

   (custom-set-variables
   '(epa-file-name-regexp "\\.\\(txt\\|gpg\\)\\'"))
or
   (custom-set-variables
   '(epa-file-name-regexp "\\.txt\\'\\|\\.gpg\\'"))

In a string (i.e. with the "...") a \( is just the same as a (, so it's
important to double your backslashes in order for them to be visible to
the regexp engine.

Note how I used \' (match the end of text) rather than $ (match the end
of line).
