Instead of using that debug level (in any case use "--debug help" for
more specific levels) it would have been suffcient if you had used 

  $ gpg --verbose --recv-key 74A941BA219EC810

which shows you certain error messages from dirmngr directly in the gpg
output.  In particular a text like

> Jul 08 05:57:24 debian dirmngr[2574]: DBG: chan_5 -> S WARNING 
> tor_config_problem 0 Please check that the "SocksPort" flag
> "IPv6Traffic" is set in torrc

should have showed up.  I always assume that the first action on unknown
problems is to add -v or --verbose ;-)

[Which forces the use of Tor]

Did not try

Unpack a fesh tarball and it will work becuase it is part of the
distributions. 

> 3. How does dirmngr connect when no tor circuit is available

With use-tor you should not be able to connect - I have not read through
your log though.

> 4. Why does a foreground dirmngr does not show connections

dirmngr is intended to be started on the fly by gpg etc.  You may also
start that using

  gpgconf --launch dirmngr

or by connecting to the dirmngr interface with

  gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr

> 5. How to enable "DBG: [not enabled in the source]"

That is for benchmarking.  You need to add

  --enable-log-clock

to the configure call - either for gnupg or with newer libgpg-error
versions with that.

> 6. Where's the database to look up ERR 167804929

$ gpg-error --desc 167804929
167804929 = (10, 32769) = (GPG_ERR_SOURCE_DIRMNGR, GPG_ERR_EACCES) = (Dirmngr, Permission denied)

(for some error codes --desc shows notes on the use of that error)

> 7. How can I change the timeout?

grep for timeout in the dirmngr man page.
