You don’t have to use \dimexpr because the measure macros already us it.

There is only a “outermargin”  key but not “outermargindistance”.

With this (perhaps not minimal) example I get nearly what I want, but the image starts with the paper and is centered (x/y -1,5mm/0mm) where I want it to start on -3mm/-3mm on a left page, 0mm/-3mm on a right page. I thought my definitions should do that…
The space before the image isn’t fixed when you use \setuplayout[grid=yes] because ConTeXt has to change it to ensure the text after the floats stays on the page.

%\setuplayout[grid=yes] % uncomment to see how the space before the images changes
