Eb to F -- play the standard (right index finger and sliver-key) Eb and trill with your left ring finger. This is a very good, in-tune trill.
C# to D# -- play C# and trill with your right index finger. The D# will be noticeably flat, so it's best to start on the upper note, fingered with the right middle finger and the Ab/Eb "resonance" key. Be sure to get off the key immediately, or the C# will be sharp, which is much worse than the upper note being flat. Given a choice, the lower note should be the good one.
Best regards.

Here is another possibility to consider:
For C#6 to D#6: I prefer (when possible) to play standard fingering for C# and trill to D# by using the throat A key. This avoids the D# sounding flat...GBK

You might try staying in the Clarion register. For the C# to D# trill, finger C# the same as C, but add the third side key. Then go to D# by opening the throat A key. If instead you want C# to D, make that the throat Ab key instead.
For Eb to F, try producing Eb with only the register key, L1, and the throat A key. For F, add the two upper side keys.
These are easy trills that can be played with good power. However, you may need a bit of lipping for spot-on intonation, and not all instruments (or setups) will perform the same in this area. So if these just won't work for you, that's the breaks.
Regards,
John
