In GPG.conf, you may put *your* preferences that will be confronted to
those in the receipient key.
I suppose the receipient you are encrypting to, doesn't support higher
schemes. This is an opinion.
I've this in my gpg.conf but don't forget you need to save your key after
new settings and upload it to servers:
default-preference-list S7 S11 S12 S13 S1 S10 S3 S4 S2 S9 S8 H3 H8 H9 H10 H11
H2 H1 Z1 Z2 Z3 Z0
personal-cipher-preferences S7 S11 S12 S13 S1 S10 S3 S4 S2 S9 S8
personal-digest-preferences H3 H8 H9 H10 H11 H2 H1
personal-compress-preferences Z1 Z2 Z3 Z0
To set the preferences, this can help (use H8 for SHA256):
