You have:

  default enable-multibyte-characters: nil

which is deprecated and means that Emacs should treat your files as
containing bytes rather than chars, so it can't do a good job putting
those bytes in upper or lower case since it doesn't know what they're
meant to represent.
  
I.e. please fix your .emacs so as not to set the default
enable-multibyte-characters to nil.
