I suspect your keyring integration is broken - that is more of a
distribution issue than an Evolution issue.  When you sign in -
typically - your keyring is unlocked.  For some reason this is not
happening.  I would research that; Evolution's behavior is only a
symptom.

For me this happens via /etc/pam.d/common-session

session required        pam_limits.so   
session required        pam_unix.so     try_first_pass 
session optional        pam_umask.so    
session optional        pam_systemd.so
session optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so    auto_start
only_if=gdm,gdm-password,lxdm,lightdm   <<<<<<<<<
session optional        pam_env.so      

Perhaps run the keyring manager and make sure the keying password is
your login password.
