So you want to replace menu A with menu B, as soon as there are no subpages
available.
After all it's not that hard do explain ;-)

Solution:

temp.defaultmenu = HMENU
temp.defaultmenu {
  entryLevel = -1
  1 = TMENU
  1 {
    wrap = <ul>|</ul>
    NO {
      wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
    }
  }
}

temp.mymenu < temp.defaultmenu
temp.mymenu {
  stdWrap.ifEmpty.cObject < temp.defaultmenu
  stdWrap.ifEmpty.cObject.entryLevel = -2
}

In case the first copy of the default HMENU is empty, another copy of the
same HMENU is used with a different entryLevel. You should use a real HMENU
and check if it's empty instead of i.e. using a check for numRows on the
pages table, since HMENU will always return proper results even in localized
page trees.

The important thing is to have no wrap inside the HMENU but just inside
TMENU and NO, else the first copy of the HMENU will never be "empty" even
without having subpages!
