I found the solution already: I had to use \long\def instead of \def.
But that introduced another problem: \startlines...\stoplines doesn't work
anymore, for example:

\def\Letter#1{#1}
\starttext
  \Letter{
    \startlines
      abc  % these appear
      def  % on a
      ghi  % single line
    \stoplines
  }
\stoptext
