No easy solution, but see FAQ #7.17 (Autohiding), it may or may not help.

Was not this answered 2 days ago? An fvwm menu can't be closed without a
keypress or mouseclick.
You may however use other windows, dialogs or modules instead of menu.
For example, use a menu created by FvwmGtk, then KillModule FvwmGtk on
leave_window event. Just don't forget to start FvwmGtk again on the next
EdgeCommand. The whole working setup may be a bit tricky, but if you
really need this, you may try to script it. If you get stuck reask again.
It is possible that FvwmGtk grabs X too when a menu is invoked, then
this solution can't work; you may switch to a pseudo-menu created by
FvwmButtons or something else.
