This is not a KDE issue, as far as I can see. I an many others sign and encrypt mail in KMail. On the other hand, it could possibly be a packaging issue, so you should file a bug report with your distro.

I find it strange, though, that getting gpg-agent to work actually activated the pinentry-qt. That should have worked without gpg-agent. The agent's task is to cache your passphrase for a set length of time so that you don't have to enter it for every message you sign. The fact that it did work (Comment 15) does point to a distro bug.
