Thank you Ralf. I'm using auctex several years but didn't do much
configuration of it (I very new with Lisp).

I changed the code to
-------------------------- 8< --------------------------
(eval-after-load "tex"
  '(setq TeX-command-list
    (cons '("ConTeXt" 
"/usr/local/opt/texlive/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context %s" TeX-run-TeX 
t t :help "Run context (MarkIV)")
          TeX-command-list)))
-------------------------- 8< --------------------------
and it works. But two drawbacks:
 - when I do C-c C-c I see the command (ConTeXt) and after I hit Enter I
   see the command to be execute which would be executed only after the
   next hit on Enter.
 - if compilation was successful auctex shows (at bottom line,
   minibuffer?) that 0 page were generated.

Seems that I use wrong way to achime the goal. Also I wonder how to tell auctex 
that
'View' should look for PDF file not DVI in that case?
