Ah, you use gnupg2?  Then, that is expected behavior.  gnupg2 always use
gpg-agent and there is no way to intercept password from elisp level.
If you see your password is cached, that is probably because of my hack
in gpg-agent:

Perhaps this patch does not work for symlinks.

Anyway I'd suggest to install gnupg1, which can coexist with gnupg2, and
(setq epg-gpg-program "path to gpg program from gnupg1")
