Unfortunately, ‘can not’ is not very informative description. Does it return any error? How do you know that even tries? > What have I to do that this works?

No, it does not do that: | '--auto-key-retrieve' | '--no-auto-key-retrieve' | These options enable or disable the automatic retrieving of keys | from a keyserver when verifying signatures made by keys that are | not on the local keyring. The default is '--no-auto-key-retrieve'. | | If the method "wkd" is included in the list of methods given to | 'auto-key-locate', the signer's user ID is part of the signature, | and the option '--disable-signer-uid' is not used, the "wkd" method | may also be used to retrieve a key. | | Note that this option makes a "web bug" like behavior possible. | Keyserver or Web Key Directory operators can see which keys you | request, so by sending you a message signed by a brand new key | (which you naturally will not have on your local keyring), the | operator can tell both your IP address and the time when you | verified the signature. — (info "(gnupg) GPG Configuration Options")
