In what way doesn't Thunderbird "accept it"?
You open Tools → OpenPGP Key Manager, and then you choose "Import
Secret Key(s) From File" in the "File" menu and select the .asc file
containing the secret key you have exported from GnuPG, and what
exactly happens?
Similarly when choose "Import Public Key(s) From File" and choose the
.asc file containing the public key you have exported from GnuPG, what
exactly happens?

Before I wrote my reply to you I exported a key pair from Thunderbird
and imported it in GnuPG. I also exported a keypair from GnuPG and
imported it into Thunderbird.
Then I sent an email from Gnus to Thunderbird encrypted for the newly
imported key pair in Thunderbird, and it decrypted in Thunderbird.
I also sent an email from Thunderbird encrypted for the newly imported
key pair in GnuPG, and it decrypted in Gnus.
So: it works for me.

Again: what do you mean that "Thunderbird does not accept GnuPG"? This
sentence does not make sense.
Thunderbird can import key pairs exported from GnuPG, and Thunderbird
can export key pairs which GnuPG can import.

Do you have your key pair on a smart card? If so, you should have
mentioned that piece of important information up front!
If not, that page is not relevant to this discussion.
Best regards,
Adam
