As I said, it does not seem to make a difference (still asks for
username and password instead of reading them from .authinfo) when I
added that setq into my .emacs, except it really is that value now:

epg-pinentry-mode is a variable defined in ‘epg-config.el’.

Its value is ‘loopback’
Original value was nil

What are your suggestion on how should I go about debugging what goes awry?
