\unprotect
\installcolumnbreakhandler {MUL} \v!bigpreference
  {\vfill\penalty-9999}
\protect

\startcolumns ... \column[bigpreference] ... \stopcolumns}

Still no break.

Hans suggested me to use columnsets, but those are spinning as well.

\definecolumnset[two][n=2]
\starttext

\startcolumnset[two]
\input tufte
\column
\placefigure{none}
{\rotate[rotation=15]{\externalfigure[dummy][width=.8\textwidth]}}
\stopcolumnset

\startcolumnset[two]
\placefigure{none}
{\rotate[rotation=-10]{\externalfigure[dummy][width=.8\textwidth]}}
\column
\input tufte
\stopcolumnset

\stoptext

Every columnset starts a new page. Maybe I need to try simplecolumns
now :) Or well ... \bTABLE ... \eTABLE.

One more question: how can I say "please keep this content together"
when typsetting in columns on grid? \vbox behaves a bit weird, but
most important: it does not align baselines properly.
