Thanks Tobias, 
I checked out of KDE, and logged back in, started Kontact again - now it 
worked. Upon opening the mail i was asked for a passphrase with which kontact 
decrypted the mail.

Strange, because I had done several reboots before.

Pinentry-qt seems to be installed:
# dpkg -l | grep pinentry
ii  pinentry-qt                                0.7.2-3 ....

I'll keep you up to date if it works. :-)
