So I guess what I want to do is to make sure that the result of the call to the read-line fn returns a symbol inside the :exported-package, but I don't know how to do so. Both ep-internal-fn and ep-external-fn are defined in the package :exporting-package (using in-package). 

Ah!  The reader will intern symbols in the package
indicated by the special variable *PACKAGE*.  At runtime, this
could be anything (not necessarily either of your two packages).
To control that, bind *PACKAGE* around the READ-LINE call:

  (let ((*package* <desired-package>))
    (read-line str nil nil))
