This could cause the leaves to yellow quickly. I would also guess there is some transplant shock, which does cause elms to drop their leaves, but since you say the new growth is also yellowing, I would say it is the soil. While repotting a sick tree is never a good idea, it might be necessary in this case, unless you want to wait it out and see if the tree will adapt to the soil. Personally, I would repot it. Regular potting soil won't support the bonsai techniques at all. If you changed the soil very recently, the shock of another repot may be worth the gain of getting the tree into the proper soil.
