It's simple: look at
`epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption'. I use it in many
situations where the GnuPG agent is not available. Just don't select a
key when you initially encrypt the .gpg file and EPA will know you mean
to use symmetric encryption. Then you enter the passphrase once and
Emacs remembers it for the whole session.

Documentation:
If non-nil, cache passphrase for symmetric encryption.
For security reasons, this option is turned off by default and
not recommended to use. Instead, consider using gpg-agent which
does the same job in a safer way. See Info node `(epa) Caching
Passphrases' for more information.
Note that this option has no effect if you use GnuPG 2.0.
