Broken handle on hollow core interior door, how to fix

My roommate didn't realize the door knobs on our coat/storage closet doors were actually decorative door pulls, tried to turn the handle as if it were a normal door, and broke it off.

It looks like previous tenants did the same thing as it was re-mounted crooked and glued.

I want to re-mount it straight, any ideas how to do this?

I was thinking of spraying some expanding hardening foam in the door, wood-gluing some dowel into the holes and then re-mounting the handle screws into that...
