In fact, '\externalfigure' in ConTeXt and 'externalfigure'
in metafun (without 'draw') can be a bit confusing, as in

Of course, no-one would ever admit to such foolishness.

maybe another name externalimage or so (as images in mp need to be drawn)

I usually prefer the more verbose:

draw textext("\externalfigure[...]") ...

which makes things conceptually clearler.
