With own certificates I meant, Your certifciate plus your private key.

Did you import the key at all?

That means that your private key does not exists.  To manually check
this do:

  gpgsm --dump-key 2D:0D:02:D5:2E:0F:D9:C7:31:48:C8:A2:63:13:6F:AD:C7:21:27:34

Youy will notice a line

  keygrip: <40-hex-digits>

then check whether a file

  ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/<40-hex-digits>.key

exists. It does not and this is the reason you see "No such file or
directory" (Well, it should better read "No such secret key").

You need to get your private key as a pkcs#12 file and import it into
gpgsm

  gpgsm --import foo.p12
