Which 2.13 do you use?
Please update to the latest (2.13.44) and then use

\overrideTimeSignatureSettings
        #'(7 . 8)  % timeSignatureFraction
        #'(1 . 8)  % baseMomentFraction
        #'(2 2 3)    % beatStructure
        #'()       % beamExceptions
      \time 7/8

or simply

\time 7/8
\set Timing.beatStructure = #'(2 2 3)

See NR 1.2.4 Beams > Setting automatic beam behavior
in the _latest_ version of the doc:

Cheers,
Xavier
