Perhaps an option "encrypt automatically if key is present" could be added to the dialogue in "Manage Identities .--> Security" or, more prominent, to "Balsa Preferences --> Mail options (Outgoing) --> Other options".
Open “Settings ▶︎ Identities ▶︎ [Identity] ▶︎ Security” and check “remind me if messages can be encrypted”. This will show a dialogue when public keys for all recipients are available. Automatic encryption is not a good idea IMO, as the recipient may be in a situation where [s]he has no access to GnuPG (web mailer, iToy, Wintendo, ...).
if there are several (encrypting as well as non-encrypting) contacts in the To-header?
I don't see the use case: - Either the message contents shall be kept confidential, then there is no way to send it unencrypted even to a single recipient. - Or you just want to demonstrate that you /could/ encrypt. Then it is sufficient to sign it.
But could sending the same message both encrypted and unencrypted compromise keys?
