The org-encrypt-entry fails to encrypt an entry, with a wrong-type-argument. 
I am currently using doom-emacs, and created a corresponding issue (https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/issues/3123),
where I was told to report the issue upstream.
As hlissner mentioned in the above issue, it seems to be that the issue is the org-encrypt-string function expects epa-file-encrypt-to to be a string, but epa-file-encrypt-to's documentation says 'May either be a string or a list of strings.'. 
Doom-emacs sets it to a list of strings. 

Backtrace:

I am a bit surprised you even reached `epa-file-encrypt-to'. I assume
`org-crypt-key' was nil.

Anyway, I pushed a fix in master. Could you try it?

Thank you.

The current commit, still results in a error. I had a set the
org-crypt-key to nil. It still prompts to use a key. 

The current backtrace is similar to this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "GPG error: \"Encrypt failed\",
\"Unusable public key: 49F84EA6007F964D; Exit\"")
   signal(error ("GPG error: \"Encrypt failed\", \"Unusable public key:
   49F84EA6007F964D; Exit\""))
     error("GPG error: \"Encrypt failed\", \"Unusable public key:
     49F84EA6007F964D; Exit\"")

This is not a valid value: `org-crypt-key' must be a string.

> It still prompts to use a key.

I think setting `org-crypt-key' to nil means: use all keys in your key
ring. Some of them are not trusted, others may be invalid. Again, use
default empty string if you don't want to set a key and would rather use
symmetric encryption.

You should check that key in your key ring. It probably has expired and
cannot be used for encryption.

On removing the variable, it works fine. The GPG configuration directly
takes my mail address to get the key. 
The other issue was I also had a revoked key with the same email, that
might have been causing an error, mentioned in the earlier mail.

Thanks for the help.

While trying to understand where the (setq org-crypt-key nil) from your
config was coming from, I noticed the manual suggested to do so!

I fixed this discrepancy between the manual and the implementation (aka
a bug). You can now set again org-crypt-key to nil. The difference
between "" and nil is the latter also ignores `epa-file-encrypt-to' if
this happens to be set in the document.
