You would have to name the first function in the .m file the same as the
file name, and you would have to _call_ that function from the script.
That function would have to either return the handles to all the other
functions or else it would have to return the handle to a function which
is referenced somehow (e.g., by string or integer index.)

It is not possible to toss a bunch of functions into one file and call
upon them by name; there is no Matlab "library" file.

Then make your main script the main function in the file and call the other
functions as subfunctions.

Yes ... but then you need to do something a little tricky to get access to
them from the script. Better (in my opinion) to simply to make your script
into the main function of the file.

Alternately, if these functions are ONLY going to be used by your script and
you want to prevent other scripts or functions outside your demonstration
directory from accessing them, make them private.
