On Debian Stretch I tried to do the same thing:

$ dirmngr --version
dirmngr (GnuPG) 2.1.18

Tor browser for linux (7.5.6) downloaded from the torproject.org site.
On linux it works out of the box! :)

Which bring me to two possible causes:
1)  Cygwin dirmngr can't be  used in that way.
If I start "tor.exe" from the Tor Browser for windows bundle it works 
like a charm because Tor  then listen on port 9050.
So I don't thing this is the issue.

2)  Regression in dirmngr between version 2.1.18 and 2.2.8.
It looks like the code that is responsible for falling back to port 9150 
when port 5090 is not available is somehow failing.

I'm stuck here and would appriciate any help on finding a solution to 
this issue.

If any one can test dirmngr 2.2.8 and Tor Browser for linux 7.5.6 and 
can let me know how it goes?

beyond '-v' and '--debug-all' what can I do to furder troubleshoot?
