Just before reading this I tried helping my coworker sign a local file
on her machine from the command line and we received an error something
like this:

gpg: cancelled by user
gpg: no default secret key: Operation cancelled
gpg: signing failed: Operation cancelled

After some searching it seems that this is related to gpg-agent. I
killed the running gpg-agent process and restarted the OS and now she is
able to send signed mails once again. So apprently this had nothing to
with enigmail. Thank you for your time and advice.
