def call_procedure_without_arguments():
    try:
        connection = create_connection()

    I am expecting that no arguments need to be passed. The documentation for this is different at different resources.

    According to Geeks for Geeks

     engine = connector.cursor()
 engine.callproc('your_procedure')
 result = cursor.fetchall()

    If does not work try adding parenthesis (), according to Postgresql Tutorial:

    conn = psycopg2.connect(dsn)
cur.execute("CALL your_procedure();")
conn.commit();

    Contrary to the name callproc is not for procedures. It is for functions only:

    https://www.psycopg.org/docs/cursor.html#cursor.callproc

    Note

    callproc() can only be used with PostgreSQL functions, not with the procedures introduced in PostgreSQL 11, which require the CALL statement to run. Please use a normal execute() to run them.

    Therefore:

    cur.execute('call proc_test')
