Enigmail doesn't remember any passphrase, nor would it ask for any
passphrase. That's handled by gpg-agent.

gpg-agent _will_ remember the passphrase for a while (depending on your
configuration between some minutes and a few hours). You can try to set
max-cache-ttl to 10 (=10 seconds). I don't recommend setting it to 0,
because Enigmail will always first attempt to encrypt and then do the
actual encryption in a second step.
