Adding \verbatimfont to mktype seems to do the trick.

\unprotect
\def\mktype#1% was \dotype
   {\bgroup
    \verbatimfont%<----------Added
    \resumecoloraftergroup % a problem is that we can still be in color 
mode, tricky hack
    \strut % new, enables leading space in \type { abc } at par start
    \let\currenttypingclass\??ty
    \edef\currenttyping{#1}%
    \catcode`\<=\@@other
    \catcode`\>=\@@other
    \futurelet\next\dodotype}
\protect

\setuptype[option=TEX]
\definetype[typeTEX][option=tex]

\starttext
\type{\example}. this---breaks---down.

\typeTEX{\example}. this---breaks---down.

\stoptext
