Huh? The variable documentation clearly states
gnus-default-charset is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
Its value is undecided
Documentation:
Default charset assumed to be used when viewing non-ASCII characters.
This variable is overridden on a group-to-group basis by the
`gnus-group-charset-alist' variable and is only used on groups not
covered by that variable.
You can customize this variable.

Namely: this variable is just for viewing things, not posting them.
What you might want to use instead is
gnus-default-charset is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
Its value is undecided
