I see, that does make sense. Mizuka has a genuine love for Kouhei while Misaki and Akane don't. Those two having sex with him is, like you said, a coping mechanism for them to deal with their problems (Misaka dealing with her blindness and Akane dealing with her missing childhood friend). Thus, their connections to Kouhei aren't strong enough for them to remember him.

This is completely different with Mizuka, eho has genuine romantic feelings for Kouhei and is truly concerned for him, thus the connection he has with her is far more powerful and meaningful. It also keeps him more "grounded". Their connection with each other is what allowed Mizuka to remember Kouhei. This also lets Kouhei use their connection as a guide so that he can come back/escape from the Eternal World a year later and reunite with Mizuka, the one he's truly in love with and vice-versa. She's the only one who genuinely loves him, and so he comes to truly love her as well, thus the two reuniting a year later in their classroom after he returns from the Eternal World. Theu then become a couple.

Your theory makes a good amount of sense, and it does make everything that happened in the OVA understandable, and make sense in context. Weird that we don't see Misaki and Akane again in the final episode of the H-OVA. Are they still around? Hope to hear from you soon.
