If you are using annotations, you do not need a Hibernate XML config file. The point of the annotations is to eliminate such a need.

The XML-file method of configuring ORMs came first, and is generally regarded as a more verbose, cumbersome, and (generally speaking, mind you) worse method. This is in comparison to the newer annotations-based configuration which you've already experimented with.
