I found out that it is nearly impossible in Europe to buy a 10l enamelled bucket with a lid. I need one for my organic waste, since I found that both metal and plastic ones tend to keep the smell despite cleaning them weekly.

Can't say I have any odor issues with just a cheap big Tupperware-style plastic container with a lid. I throw it in the dishwasher after I've emptied it and the lid keeps any smells in during use (that's what the lid is for after all, as well as keeping fruit flies out of the organic waste).

Is it easier for other sizes, or equally as difficult.

Equally as difficult, except for very small ones that go on a table - these are more of a decorative item than a bucket. Enamel in general has gotten somewhat rare. I found one (!) factory in Germany that does these. One.

Edit: I just checked:10l is max. There are no bigger ones and now I wonder why :)

In case you haven't found it yet; have a look on https://emaille24.de/ - they do have buckets up to 12l (with lids).

Thanks to your and your sibling commentor's replies I will soon be the proud owner of a lidded, enamelled bucket :)
