hm, strange, try
\setuppapersize[A4][A3]
\setuplayout[location=middle,
backspace=23mm,
margin=15mm,margindistance=3mm,
width=fit,

\setupinmargin[left][align=left,foregroundcolor=red]

Thank you, Luigi.
This code gives a nice result with the page sitting neatly centered on
the paper.
However, when I increase the margin width to 25mm all gets shifted to
the left. Both margins get 25 width, the right margin stays within the
boundaries of the A4 paper, the left one is pushed outside. One would
have expected that with width=fit, the increase of marginwidth would
go at the expense of textwidth and that location=middle will still
dictate the overall position.
But no, it does not work that way apparently. Setting margin=20mm is
about the limit. Even setting textwidth to a small size, for example
10 cm, does not work to keep the page inside the paper. The extra
white space all shows up at the right side as an enormously wide
rightedge while the left margin is still partly outside the paper. In
other words: location=middle does not work.
Strange indeed.
Is there anything that could be done about this?
And would it be possible to different margin width for the right and
left margin?
When I tested some of the page layout possibilities I did read in * that
the margin and the text are *not* at the same level, so the margins can
be *under* the text.
This also means that changing the margin will not affect the text width,
and so on.

and perhaps also ConTeXt the manual cont-enp.pdf
Thanks in advance for any advice.
