I guess you can't use CTS interrupt without enablign the  usart !
So maybe it would be simpler (no usart config required no over usart pins used) to configure and use your handcceck pins as an exti interrupt line .... 
here is an example where i do triger interrupt on a falling edge of GPIO A.0  exti line (the gpio pin  is  already configure  as input + pull up)
