I am a bit confused as I know Di2, but not EPS. Let me know if I'm getting that correctly: you can fit the cable through the hole from the outside, but then you're left with a connector that you can't reach, somewhere in the middle of the chainstay.

If I got that right, I have two suggestions :
- if that big connector can fit through the hole, which don't you add an extension cable, and then feed the whole thing through? Alternatively, if it is possible to disconnect the cable from the battery, use that instead? This seems obvious so I'm sure there's a reason it won't work, but I'm curious to know why!
- Make two tools out of a wire hanger. What I have in mind is a long straight section, with a loop at the end that could go behing the connector, so you can hold it in place. Then, same tool for the cable coming from the battery, so you can push the connector from the battery into the one from the derailleur inside the chainstay. If that's not clear I can make a basic drawing, let me know!

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately this answers your own questions I'm afraid. Though your tips would no doubt work with di2 they won't with EPS. The two connectors are the same size. You can't disconnect the cable from the battery. The two connectors have to join in a very specific way, there is no way you can do it blind alas.
