I guess I just take it for granted because using mutt along with
gpg-agent, I don't get such a password request.  I'd be curious if
kmail would do the same if configured to use the gpg-agent.

Without the agent, mutt prompts as well.  It's just been a long long
time since I wasn't using gpg-agent. :)
