STM32 interrupt does not fire

Question

I'm using an STM32F103C8T6 (aka blue pill).

GPIO Init and interrupt handler:

static void MX_GPIO_Init(void)
{

  GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStruct;

  /* GPIO Ports Clock Enable */
  __HAL_RCC_GPIOC_CLK_ENABLE();
  __HAL_RCC_GPIOD_CLK_ENABLE();
  __HAL_RCC_GPIOA_CLK_ENABLE();

  /*Configure GPIO pin Output Level */
  HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOC, GPIO_PIN_13, GPIO_PIN_SET);

  /*Configure GPIO pin Output Level */
  HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOC, GPIO_PIN_15, GPIO_PIN_RESET);

  /*Configure GPIO pins : PC13 PC15 */
  GPIO_InitStruct.Pin = GPIO_PIN_13|GPIO_PIN_15;
  GPIO_InitStruct.Mode = GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT_PP;
  GPIO_InitStruct.Speed = GPIO_SPEED_FREQ_LOW;
  HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOC, &GPIO_InitStruct);

  /*Configure GPIO pin : PA0 */
  GPIO_InitStruct.Pin = GPIO_PIN_0;
  GPIO_InitStruct.Mode = GPIO_MODE_IT_RISING;
  GPIO_InitStruct.Pull = GPIO_NOPULL;
  HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStruct);

  HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(EXTI0_IRQn);

  while(1);

}

void EXTI0_IRQHandler(void)
{
    __HAL_GPIO_EXTI_CLEAR_IT(GPIO_PIN_0);
    HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOC, GPIO_PIN_14);
}

The problem is that the interrupt handler (EXTI0_IRQHandler) is never called. I tried also with other pins (e.g. using EXTI15_10_IRQHandler). I checked the switch and LED separately (in the main function) and those work. I also tried with PULLUP and PULLDOWN (which makes no difference).

Is there more needed to trigger the interrupt function?

Do the steps from my comment, Here is the sample code. I had a different hardware connections so I used a different pins.

int main(void) {
    RCC->APB2ENR = RCC_APB2ENR_IOPBEN | RCC_APB2ENR_IOPCEN | RCC_APB2ENR_AFIOEN;


    //confure PB2  PC13 as inputs, PB0 output

    AFIO->EXTICR[0] = AFIO_EXTICR1_EXTI2_PB;
    AFIO->EXTICR[3] = AFIO_EXTICR4_EXTI13_PC;
    EXTI->IMR = EXTI_IMR_MR2 | EXTI_IMR_MR13;
    EXTI->RTSR = EXTI_RTSR_TR2;
    EXTI->FTSR = EXTI_FTSR_TR13;
    NVIC_EnableIRQ(EXTI2_IRQn);
    NVIC_EnableIRQ(EXTI15_10_IRQn);
    while (1);
} 
void EXTI2_IRQHandler(void) {
    if (EXTI->PR & EXTI_PR_PR2) {
        EXTI->PR = EXTI_PR_PR2;
        GPIOB -> ODR |= GPIO_ODR_0;
    }
}

void EXTI15_10_IRQHandler(void) {
    if (EXTI->PR & EXTI_PR_PR13) {
        EXTI->PR = EXTI_PR_PR13;
        GPIOB -> ODR &= ~GPIO_ODR_0;            
    }
}

one pin turns led on another turns off
