Thanks. I'm using the newest teTeX. Here the output of kpsewhich:
kpsewhich --format="other text files" --progname=context cont-en.xml
-> no output
kpsewhich --progname=context cont-en.xml
-> /opt/teTeX/texmf-dist/tex/context/interface/cont-en.xml

Then, I loaded the texmf.cnf into my editor and found the following text:

% Some additional input variables for several programs.  If you add
% a program that uses the 'other text files' or 'other binary files'
% search formats, you'll want to add their variables here as well.

So I added this line:
CONTEXTINPUTS = .;$TEXMF/tex/context//
And now, it seems all ok!

Thanks!
Peter

P.S.: In the manual of kpsewhich, the options begin with only one hyphen.
