Thanks Hans for the help.
Here is my solution (far from perfect, but it works):

...
\loadmapfile[ec-urw-helvetica.map]
\setupbodyfont[phv,12pt] % Helvetica--> URW NimbusSansL

% remap to Adobe Helvetica (ArialMT)
\definefontsynonym[Helvetica][hv][encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym[Helvetica-Bold][hvb][encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym[Helvetica-BoldOblique][hvbo][encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym[Helvetica-Oblique][hvo][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[ss]
...

The second \setupbody[ss] sets hv as default font. Put it in the first one
[phv,ss,12pt] or leave it and you get NimbusSansL....

Is there a possibility to "embed the embedded" Adobe fonts?

Peter
