Aha, I guess that there is something missing in the current unicode
support for these extra letters then, although I don't know everything
about this area of TeXmacs.

Then there is some problem with your Linux, or TeXmacs
install, I don't know, because usually, the "quote" keys of
the keyboard definitely generate characters.

This is probably the reason why the quotes do not work.

We would prehaps need somebody to improve the lithuanian support
of TeXmacs keyboard layout, then, because it seems to me that it is
what is currently missing.

A quick fix to your problem would be to use US/English keyboard
layout for editing your english documents, but it would not solve
the problem for working with your native language.
