Ah yes. Those two options have no place in your gpg.conf. They are
options that you might want to specify as part of the command line on
occasion, but unless you have a very unusual setup they should not be
there. You should remove both. The pinentry-mode is probably what is
preventing you being asked for the passphrase.

I'd recommend dropping this as well.

These commented out lines are probably why the pinentry-mode line was
there in the first place. Do you know why these lines, both the
uncommented and the commented ones, are in your gpg.conf?

HTH,

Peter.
