I was not aware of this syntax style. Thank you.

  fpr=$(gpg --with-colons --quick-gen-key "Test user <test at example.org>"
ed25519 | awk -F: '/^fpr:/{ print $10 }')

This immediately runs gpg and ask for a password and creates an EdDSA
signing key without any errors.

I run GnuPG 2.1.15 on Ubuntu 17.04. It is also possible to create an ECC
keypair with gpg --expert --full-gen-key without any errors. I just
would prefer to have a paramter file for later/future use.

Thank you.
Pascal
