To use a custom email template in a workflow - you need to write Java logic and a MAP that is used to populate the variables in the custom template. There is no other way to reference a custom template and then to populate the variables in the template without using Java logic.

To do this - write a  custom workflow step that retrieves a custom email template. To learn how to write a custom email step - see:

To learn how to use the Java API to retrieve a custom email template - see: 

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/htl_email_template.html

this is the way you can get a workflow to send an email based on a custom template.

I have written custom workflow step that retrieves a custom email template and it works fine. But now i want my "Workflow notification: WorkflowCompleted" message to be also picked up from a customized path.

customized path :- /etc/workflow/notification/email/demoportal/en.txt

currently getting picked from (default) :- /etc/workflow/notification/email/default/en.txt
