Thanks for the quick reply!

That explains at least why it didn't work with GPGTools at all. Though 
it should have worked with the homebrew version, shouldn't it? I guess 
it really has something to do with my gpg-agent setup, since it seems to 
work fine for other people.

Interestingly though, after creating the symlink to the GPGTools 
version, MailMate still tells me that the signing process fails, with 
this output:

     USERID_HINT 9C791B1A2ADC63E5 Felix Kling <…>
     NEED_PASSPHRASE 9C791B1A2ADC63E5 9C791B1A2ADC63E5 17 0
     GOOD_PASSPHRASE
     BEGIN_SIGNING H2

This confuses me even more!
