The idiom “to keep one’s temper” means to remain calm and not get angry, even in a difficult or irritating situation.
For example:
She wanted to shout at the rude customer, but she kept her temper and answered politely.
It is the opposite of “to lose one’s temper, ” which means to become angry.

I don't think it means to control temperature. Controlling our temperature is like saving ones energy. In the good mood everyone can keep their temper with them they do not try to release as they are in good mood so they keep it.

To keep one's temper: to maintain control of one's composure despite being angry or upset.
That can be only possible when someone is in a good mood at that time they remain calm and easily controlled their temper.

If someone control its temper that person can't be in good mood. As from within that person might be feeling irritated. So how it can be good mood?

'To keeps, one's temper' needn't necessarily mean 'To be in good mood'.
For example, one can also hold their anger by remaining quiet.
