torbrowser at torproject.org is the correct email address, but you may be
querying the wrong server. On the page you referenced there is a section
for this:

"""""""
Fetching the Tor Developers key

The Tor Browser team signs Tor Browser releases. Import the Tor Browser
Developers signing key (0xEF6E286DDA85EA2A4BA7DE684E2C6E8793298290):

gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys torbrowser at torproject.org
"""""""

The key is available on keys.openpgp.org, as well, if you need it from
another key server:

https://keys.openpgp.org/search?q=torbrowser%40torproject.org
