You don't need the curly braces in the URL. Just send it to the xmlrpc/2/common endpoint, as per...

http://<server:?port>/xmlrpc/2/common

You need to set the verb to POST, and the body to raw with XML.

Then send in the following XML in the form as per the documentation.

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<methodCall>
    <methodName>version</methodName>
</methodCall>

This will return the server version info as per the examples used in the External API documentation in an XML response.

Postman isn't the best client to use XML-RPC calls, take a look at XML RPC GUI for developers in Windows?. You have to create a raw request and then send it. Using SoapUI would be much easier.
