Reaper needs to be sending MTC (MIDI Time Code) for the scenario you're describing. Does the MIDI output device you're using have any diagnostics to show it's transmitting, or do you have any way to confirm MTC output from your computer+MIDI device? 
 You need to have MTC Midi Timecode RX enabled in Setup > System >Show Control. (If it isn't, your Tab 11 Show Control will show "TC Disabled"). You also should have Network: MIDI Rx Source ID set to 1 since that is what you've set on your Event List 1. 
 In your Event List, you'll need to have Midi specified and External ON (it sounds like it already is). 
 Even with no events, you should see the clock moving if Eos is receiving Time code.
