Then I get a pinentry popup asking me for the passphrase.

If I run thunderbird from the same terminal window and click on a drafts
message in Thunderbird, then TB gives me an error popup, telling me


GnuPG cannot query your passphrase via pinentry.

This is a system setup or configuration error that prevents Enigmail from
working properly and cannot be fixed automatically.

We strongly recommend that you consult our support web site at
https://enigmail.net/faq.


If I exit TB, kill the gpg-agent started at login time and run TB again,
then it starts a new agent and the pinentry dialog works as expected.
