I installed evolution in Linux with Gnome Keyring, then Engimail showed me, that this has hijacked GnuPG. And then I could only decrypt with keys that has no extra password.
I removed evolution and Gnome Keyring, but that didn't helped. There is only not that one error message anymore, that gpg has been hijacked.

What shall I do?

  Unfortunately, this is a problem with the Gnome desktop environment, not
  a problem in Enigmail. If you look on GnuPG-Users you'll find the
  subject of gnome-keyring has come up quite a lot.
  
  See, e.g., https://wiki.gnupg.org/GnomeKeyring

  that was helping me.
  
  I did the debugging thing:
  ERR 67109133 can't exec `/usr/local/bin/pinentry-gtk'
  was the problem
  
  so I created a symlink to /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 to this above. That helped.
