IIRC, either pinentry-gtk or pinentry-qt needs to know the current tty
to work properly. Even that they are X applications.

Yes, GPG_TTY needs to be set for mutt:
int pgp_use_gpg_agent (void)
{
return option (OPTUSEGPGAGENT)
&& getenv ("GPG_TTY")
&& getenv ("GPG_AGENT_INFO");
}
The reason for the GPG_TTY check is that Mutt is not able to know
whether a curses or GTK+ bvased pinentry will be used and thus it
better checks that everything is correct before it tries to use the
agent.
Joey is right in that it shouldn't be needed. I have however not
tested it and frankly never used the classic pgp backend for years.
Shalom-Salam,
Werner
