   As for the function definition, however, the code you suggested,
   unfortunately, didn't work (M-x myhowm-menu-eucjp didn't show anything).

Perhaps you did not evaluate the new definition?
I was able to see the menu appear with

  (defun ttn-howm-menu ()
    (interactive)
    (let ((coding-system-for-read 'euc-jp)
          (coding-system-for-write 'euc-jp)
          (coding-system-require-warning t))
      (call-interactively 'howm-menu)))

and an installation of howm from howm-1.3.9.1.tar.gz.  After copying this
definition into *scratch*, i typed ‘C-M-x’ (i.e., ‘eval-defun’) and then
‘M-x ttn-howm-menu’.

To verify that ‘eval-defun’ worked correctly, you can type into *scratch*:

  (symbol-function 'ttn-howm-menu)

then type ‘C-j’ to inspect what Emacs thinks is the current definition.
