UPDATE:-
The saved file format seems to have a bearing on this.
Save calc file using .ods
Check Encrypt with PGP
Select key file - file saved.
Open file and prompt box appears requesting passphrase for that key.
File opens as expected.
HOWEVER - that key then seems to remain cached as even after logout/in it is
then possible to access the file without any passphrase prompt.

If instead the file is saved using .xls format, the passphrase box that appears
on re-opening the file seems to be the one used by Password Protect, not the
one that specifically mention the encryption key.

So it may be that you cannot encrypt files using an external PgP key unless
they are odf - in which case that option should vanish if a non-odf format is
selected.

However it should not be possible to re-open an encrypted file without a key
prompt.
