Natural
"Please don't barge in while I am talking" is completely natural. However, it is a little stronger. If you are trying to be softer then "please don't interrupt me while I am talking" is better. However, I have used (and heard) "please don't barge in while I am talking" many times especially towards kids who kind of barge in abruptly and interrupt a conversation.

A little unnatural
Please don't interrupt me when I'm talking
"Barge in" sounds like someone is suddenly coming into the room where you are.
