Are you sure that the gpg version at the remote site is also >= 2.1?
Given that you used the option "--use-agent" I assume that this is a gpg
1.4.

For that feature to work you need GnuPG 2.1 local and remote.  The
reason is that only since 2.1 gpg diverts all private key operations to
the agent.

GPG_AGENT_INFO is ignore by GnuPG >= 2.1.
