I discovered by accident that

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq epa-pinentry-mode 'loopback)
#+end_src

does what I want.

It would still be good to have some page in the manual that describes
with what tools file encryption in Emacs is done, and where to look for
documentation.  Currently there is only a description of encryption
commands of dired (info "(emacs) Operating on Files").
