Looking at your PGP request mailto: link, this seems OK.

Seems fine to me.
What you placed in the auto-reply template shouldn't affect the filter
working anyway. It will only affect what the recipient gets. I
changed my own auto-reply template quite a few times without problems.

^^^^^^^^^^^
You don't need this line to completely change the
subject.

No, I change my subject as well in my auto-reply. This is a good thing
to do because if, the recipient sends you a thank you note or wishes to
indicate a problem with the auto-reply then the filter will latch on to
"send_pgp_keys" in the reply and resend the keys. Not to mention
problems with running your own tests. :-)
I'd put the filter aside and think of other things. If there's nothing
else to pin the problem on then the only alternative would be to
recreate the filter. There have been a number of reports about filters
suddenly not working anymore when they were just working previously,
despite the filter not being adjusted in any way. I've never personally
experienced this. Usually when one of my filter breaks in such a way
it's because I added another filter, which created problems with the
filter rule ordering. You should check if this is your problem first.
Did you change the position of the key request filter in the filter rule
listing either manually or indirectly by adding other filters?
Also check if you inadvertently changed other settings. Is the 'manual
only' switch enabled? Is the 'active' switch disabled?
