This is unfortunately, one of those areas where I suffered the most
disappointment when I moved over from Windows7 to linux last year.   The
auto-type capability under linux doesn't match up to that under windows.

From what I've understood (and that may be limited) the difficulty lies within
'mono'.  However, the situation improved somewhat with the latest update of
KeePass2 but I don't know what they did.

Presently, I'm using a smartcard so I don't need KeePass2 for enigmail.

But, in general, for login to websites and other applications using pinentry, to
get the password to autotype into the pinentry dialogue box - with focus in the
dialogue box, right click on the KeePass2 entry and select "Perform auto-type".

Since recent updates, the right click + 'Crtl-V' also works.

I'm using linux UbuntuStudio 1404 (with all updates); KeePass2 v2.29 ; mono
seems to be 3.2.8+dfsg-4ubuntu1.1
