I admit that I had to trial and error this:

\startMPpage
     picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [
         kind          = "fillup",
         text          = "\strut foo f o o",
         drawcolor     = "white",
         rulethickness = .2
     ] ysized 5cm ;

     path bb ; bb := boundingbox tt;
     path pp ; pp := bb enlarged 3cm ;

     fill pp
         withshademethod "linear"
         withshadedirection down
         withshadecolors (red, blue)
     ;

     fill bb withcolor "darkgray" ;

     for i within tt :
         if stroked i :
             nofill (pathpart i)
             ;
         fi ;
         dofill bb
             withshademethod "linear"
             withshadedirection down
             withshadecolors (red, blue)
             ;
     endfor ;
\stopMPpage
