First, you can always type accents in emacs with iso-transl:
(require 'iso-transl)
(define-key iso-transl-ctl-x-8-map "E" [342604]) ; bind €
Then type C-x 8 C-h to see the map
for example:
C-x 8 ' e -> é
C-x 8 ` e -> è
C-x 8 ^ e -> ê
C-x 8 " e -> ë
C-x 8 E -> €
Next, I don't use a keyboard with dead keys, but I'd guess that
processing them depend on the language environment, or perhaps more
precisely on the input method. Try:
M-x set-language-environment RET TAB
M-x set-input-method RET TAB
