I had now time to think about and my answer is I won't support
keys in \setupletter as label names because it did not produce
the output I expect but what I can do is to modify the \setlettervalue
command in the following way.

\usemodule[letter]

\def\setlettervalue#1{\dodoubleempty\dosetlettervalue[#1]}

\unprotected\def\dosetlettervalue[#1][#2]#3%
   {\ifsecondargument
      \setuplabeltext[\currentmainlanguage][letter:#1=#2]%
    %\else
    %  \setuplabeltext[\currentmainlanguage][letter:#1=#1]%
    \fi
    \setvalue{\????ld#1}{#3}}

% \setlettervalue{key}{value}
% \setlettervalue{key}[labeltext]{value}

\starttext

\setupletterstyle[reference][list={durchwahl,raum,misc,date}]

\setlettervalue{durchwahl}[Durchwahl]{0000/123456789}
\setlettervalue{raum}{1. Stock Zimmer 21}
\setlettervalue{misc}[]{another entry}

\startletter
\input ward
\stopletter

\stoptext
