Version 1.99 of my Remail for Waffle actually does this:
it checks if the recipient of the remailed message has a
PGP public key, and if so, it encrypts the outgoing message,
if it is not encrypted already.

The remailers remail at vox.hacktic.nl and remailer at jpunix.com
use this program. For testing you can also use
remail at desert.hacktic.nl, or remailer at desert.hacktic.nl
