That's the way \fill-line works.
You could try sth like \fill-line { \null <arg1> \null <arg2> \null },
but my own tries with that approach weren't sufficient, even if I
replace \null with \hspace #x.
Instead I'd suggest to use \line and \hspace #x to place the args manually.

It will work, if you add \general-align #Y #UP before the second
argument of the markup.

Here's the code, including some other minor changes in order to simplify it.

\version "2.15.39"
\markup {
        \column {
                \vspace #10
                \line {
                        \hspace #5
                        \general-align #Y #UP { \epsfile #X #20
#"Louis_Lewandowski.eps" }
                        \hspace #8
                        \general-align #Y #UP {
                                \override #'(line-width . 60)
                                \wordwrap {
                                        \bold "Louis Lewandowski"
                                        (* 3. April 1821 in Wreschen,
