Did you execute:

$ sudo service rsyslog restart

After adding the conffile?

$ netstat -an | grep 514
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:514             0.0.0.0:*
udp6       0      0 :::514                  :::*

All correct here after uncomenting above mentioned configuration file
and fully restarting the daemon.
