It seems that you are in compatibility mode which disables long names
(\*[...], \[...], etc.).  Why?  If you run groff without option -C it
works as announced.

\*Tm doesn't work.  For two-letter string names, either use \*(Tm (the
classical variant) or \*[Tm].  Giving groff the `-ww' argument to
enable all warning messages yields

  warning: macro `T' not defined
  warning: macro `l' not defined
  warning: macro `r' not defined

Try this instead:

  \*R \*(Tm \*(lq foo \*(rq \(lq bar \(rq
