Thank you Rik,
you solved my problem.
I've realized that \startplacetable is not necessary:

\starttext
\startframed[frame=off,             align=flushleft, % table aligned to
the left             width=broad,     % the frame takes all the text
width             offset=overlay,  % no space around the
table             ]
\bTABLE  \bTR     \bTD $a_{11}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{12}$ \eTD  \eTR 
\bTR     \bTD $a_{21}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{22}$ \eTD  \eTR\eTABLE\stopframed
Following text.
Following text.
Following text.
Following text.
\stoptext
Best greetings,
Massi
