Mixed columns are a rewrite of the old columns mechanism.
It would ha been possible to use the new code for \startcolumns
but Hans restrained himself from doing this because the new code
produces a different output and ou have to force the new mechanism
with \startmixedcolumns to use it.
A advantage of the new environment is that you can use
it in \startframedtext (with a few restrictions) where the old mechanism
has failed.

Do you have a example because there isn’t an space between the columns
when you use “distance=0pt”.
\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[distance=0pt,separator=rule]
\dorecurse{1000}{i }
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
