Ok, so I did. 
Here's the output:

~$ eval gpg-agent --daemon
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-vSKdW6/S.gpg-agent:5450:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO;
~$

Seems ok, doesn't it? 

But after all - same procedure as before:
The old mail can be decrypted, new ones can only be encrypted. 

I also removed ~.gnupg, and stopped/started kpgp and kontact, but this 
behaviour does not change!
Can Kmail have the key somewhere in a cache? That's not meant to be like that, 
isn't it? Would that be secure?

Strange, strange.
I'll try another reboot now.
CU!
