Did you check where the format went after generating it with texexec --make? In order to have finally a correctly running Context you should enable \write18 in texmfcnf. Beyond the language related formats you should generate also the metafun.fmt en the mptopdf.fmt (Otherwise you can run texexec --make --all). Humble did you run texhash after installation of the new Context?
