Ah, right, I see the SRV record being queried *after* the
openpgpkey.eckner.net query. However, for whatever reason these (and the 
SRV) queries fail:

the other box shows different errors at the same positions:

I wonder, though, why the tried things differ on both machines - both run 
arch linux with gnupg 2.2.26 and libgcrypt 1.8.7, no gpg.conf.

What should I do to dig further into this?

I played around with the socket:// log "file", and I must say, the nice 
thing is, that you can keep this in your dirmngr.conf without creating 
endless logs - only when the listening command is started, the socket is 
created and actual logs will be generated :-)
