well the problem with the proper unicode symbols is that at first
they are not so easy to input (that could be handled by the editor)
and that they are not so visible. - - — look quite the same in my
editor, even more if the screen is not so large and when my eyes
tire. If -- wouldn't work I would resort to a command like \ndash
instead only to get a better visual clue what's in the document. 

But regardless from the input method. How can one enable a line
break after an em-dash when \automichyphenmode is 1?  The only way I
found is to explicitly insert a penalty:

\starttext
\hsize=2pt

dash---\penalty1 dash

dash—\penalty1 dash

\stoptext
