Olav,
I think that the reason this did not work for you is due to the fact
that Thunderbird had my valid private S/MIME certificate in the security
setting for Thunderbird. If I try to select the "encrypt this Message"
in Options, Thunderbird indeed complains that I need to set up a
certificate.
But when I put the S/MIME certificate back in I can "force" the
encryption as I said. I tested this to a friends email who has a valid
Openpgp cert and the message came through and was decrypted by enigmail
OpenPGP.  I don't know what happened to the S/MIME encryption. Doing it
that way did cause the server to time out twice before the message was
sent, but otherwise there were no error messages.
