Ok. The further step we can try is following what epg does.
I am now looking into `epg--start' source code and I note
`epg-debug' variable, which might provide some more info to think about.
Also, note the `make-process' call in `epg--start' - you may try to run
it manually, similar to `start-process' and check if it fails. (For me,
:connection-type 'pipe part is a bit fishy - I recall there were some
quirks related to it;
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=44824 ... but it was the
opposite to having 'pipe AFAIR).
