Hi, mbsync is unescaping the argument to PassCmd, while msmtps passwordeval is leaving it as it is. So just remove your escapes and it should be fine.
passwordeval gpg2 --no-tty -qd ~/.authinfo.gpg | \
sed -n 's,^machine gour .*password "\([^\"]*\)".*,\1,p'
/martin
P.S. At least this worked for me when testing with a ~/.authinfo.gpg
containing:
machine gour password "test"
