I am answering myself.

It is now working. Problem was, that I first tried to use the 
"lkhjpoqwrpoqfjiah.key" files below ".gnupg/private-keys--v1.d/, which did not 
work.

Then, during testings, I changed permissions of .gnupg, which led to a new 
error.

Reverting this, I tried "gpg -K" and then saw the keys with its name.

Then I could export the keys using the correct syntax (name of the key, not 
some filename). Such I got a new file, which could be imported into 
thunderbird.

So, one mistake led to another, however, now its working and I learnt 
something.

Thanks for all the help.

Best regards
