I just recently resolved this myself. You need to add

--pinentry-mode loopback

to the relevant commands in your muttrc:

set pgp_decode_command="gpg --pinentry-mode loopback %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --no-verbose --batch --output - %f"
set pgp_verify_command="gpg --pinentry-mode loopback --no-verbose --batch --output - --verify %s %f"
set pgp_decrypt_command="gpg --pinentry-mode loopback --passphrase-fd 0 --no-verbose --batch --output - %f"
