Why do you think it is not working?

What request do you make that you want to match this location, but it
does not?

What request do you make that you want not to match this location,
but it does?

Test:

==
  server {
    listen 8888;
    location ~ ^/([^/])+\.(tpl|xml)$ { return 200 "Did match: $uri\n"; }
    location / { return 200 "Did not match: $uri\n"; }
  }
==

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8888/abc.xml
Did match: /abc.xml
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8888/abc/def.xml
Did not match: /abc/def.xml
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8888/abc.txt
Did not match: /abc.txt
