Thank you, both.

For reference, after editing and saving .authinfo.gpg, the following
worked for me:

(auth-source-forget-all-cached)
(auth-source-pick-first-password :host "smtp.example.com")

IIUC, the first command flushes the password-data for .authinfo.gpg, so
the next call to `auth-source-search' causes a re-reading of
.authinfo.gpg (as happens in the second line).
