You do not need the 'toggle' command to select the private keys. Using the 'key' command alone is enough:

   $ gpg2 --edit-key alice
   Secret key is available.

   sec  rsa2048/2EADF7D4
        created: 2015-06-05  expires: 2018-06-04  usage: SC
        trust: ultimate      validity: ultimate
   ssb  rsa2048/E3293B28
        created: 2015-06-05  expires: never       usage: E
   ssb  rsa2048/99E238AD
        created: 2015-06-05  expires: never       usage: S
   [ultimate] (1). Alice <al...@example.org>

Notice that secret keys are already displayed.

Now to select the first subkey:

   gpg> key 1

   sec  rsa2048/2EADF7D4
        created: 2015-06-05  expires: 2018-06-04  usage: SC
        trust: ultimate      validity: ultimate
   ssb* rsa2048/E3293B28
        created: 2015-06-05  expires: never       usage: E
   ssb  rsa2048/99E238AD
        created: 2015-06-05  expires: never       usage: S
   [ultimate] (1). Alice <al...@example.org>

Notice the '*'? It indicates the currently selected subkey. Now you can proceed with the 'keytocard' command.

Since I never got to the point where the SmartCard is relevant, I don't think 
it has anything to do with the problem.

In your first message you said “the SmartCard rejects the key”, so I would say the SmartCard is definitively relevant. As would be relevant the exact error message that you got when you attempted the 'keytocard' command.
