This really looks like some issue with gpg-agent (as if it were started
by gpg each time something needs to be done).

I can only recommend you to check our troubleshooting guide for gpg-agent:
https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/faq-en?view=topic&id=14

If that doesn't help, you better ask for help at the GnuPG mailing list.
