The settings are applied while composing an email. At any rate, at 200x86, even at 300 dpi there's only 86 vertical and 200 horizontal pixels/dots to render the signature. Imagine if your screen resolution was 200x86 what sort of detail you would have. Try a larger image for the signature. You can scale it when composing.

My apologies. I meant to say ppi. Anyway, I don’t think you understand my issue. This is an issue which did not used to occur, then started occurring somewhere about El Capitan. It has been discussed in the past. I was trying to see if anyone had found a solution. When I attach an image inline to an email I use the small, medium, large, actual dropdown to size appropriately.

I am referring to using an image in the preset signature in Mail. They are found at Mail>Preferences>Signatures. You can create multiple standard email signatures to be used across multiple email accounts. You do not have to scale when composing because they are preset. In the past when you added a graphic file to your preset signature it would display properly. It does not do so now. Perhaps you could try it for yourself and see if you can recreate my problem.
