I'm unfamiliar with the description of epsilon as the "interaction energy,"
and unsure what you've actually tried to get that error message. I suggest
you take a look at the functional forms that we've documented, and express
your intent in similar ways, and see what you learn.

Is there any possible way to work such an user-defined combination rule

No, the choice of combination rules, and management of that choice is
crucial to the implementation and its performance. It's not at all clear to
me that you need a custom combination rule, however.

If not possible in Gromacs, any simulation packages which supports those
