~/.authinfo (and its different versions) are taken by the auth-sourc.el
package. Tramp is aware of it, and uses its mechanisms.

As said before, "ftp" based methods are delegated via Tramp to
ange-ftp.el. That package does not know auth-source.el, instead it has
implemented its own parsing of ~/.netrc style files.

Set ange-ftp-netrc-filename to "~/.authinfo.gpg", this should work.
