> If I remember well, framedtext sets a localhsize for the width of its content. I guess that is why boxedcolumns stays within the width specified. But is there a specific reason why mixedcolumns in general does not?

The global settings for mixedcolumns are

   \setupmixedcolumns
     [maxwidth=\makeupwidth]

which forces columns to use the width of the textblock but boxedcolumns uses this

   \definemixedcolumns
     [boxedcolumns]
     [maxwidth=\availablehsize]

where the width of the columns depends on the available width of the environment,
e.g. in a narrower environment or in a frame the you get shorter columns.
