I'm currently running a Lenovo T-series laptop with The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) and the Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080 GamingBox - works like a charm! I know it's not the same as your setup, but I just wanted to put it out there if anyone else was intrigued by this eGPU-thing. 
From what I remember - you need to be careful when selecting the eGPU, OS and PC hardware configuration. It might be useful to the community if you supplied further details. One thing you could do is to check whether or not the eGPU works for other applications - or is it just Hashcat that wont work? You could also try using another OS.
EDIT: I'm a newbie - what distro is better at handling OpenCL?
