COMMENTS
A conjecture over at A020666 says that A020666(n) = 2 for n >= 189. Perhaps looking at last digits and some modular arithmetic leads to a proof.
A020666(189) = 2 and a(189) = 33 so the last 33 digits of 2^189 contain all 10 digits. Therefore for k = 189 + 4*5^(33-1) the last 33 digits of 2^k contain all 10 possible digits.

EXAMPLE
a(4) = 11 since m = A020666(4)^4 = 763^4 = 338920744561. The last 11 digits contain all 10 possible digits (0 through 9) but the last 10 digits do not; 3 is missing in the last 10 digits.
