pinentry.el requires GnuPG >= 2.1.5 and Pinentry >= 0.9.8, as mentioned
in the header comment.  Is the version requirement met on your system?

If it is all fine, try reloading the configuration with:

  gpgconf --reload gpg-agent

as gpg-agent doesn't automatically reload the configuration.

pinentry.el is actually in lisp/net/ already.  For the pinentry program,
I don't think it is feasible, since there isn't (and won't be) a way to
use a custom pinentry program from the gpg command line:
