I modified it, but it only affects the first page.
The mark appears on the edge of the page; I just want a line in the middle.

I would use a layer and some MetaPost code, like this:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{MPfoldmark}
pickup pensquare scaled 0.5pt ;
drawoptions(dashed evenly withcolor "registration") ;
xd := OverlayWidth/2;
draw (xd,0)--(xd,\pagecutmarklength);
draw (xd,OverlayHeight)--(xd,(OverlayHeight - \pagecutmarklength));
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[foldmark][\uniqueMPgraphic{MPfoldmark}]
\definelayer[PagePlus][
x=-\pagecutmarklength,
y=-\pagecutmarklength,
width=1pw+2\pagecutmarklength,
height=1ph+2\pagecutmarklength,
]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=PagePlus]
\setlayerframed[PagePlus][
y=-\measure{Trim},
x=0mm,
height=1ph,
width=1pw,
background=foldmark,
]{}
This is not the most simple solution, but it should work with any page size.

Sorry, I didn’t test the code; the measures make no sense.

If a layer should be repeated on all pages, you must define it with
"repeat=yes" and set it as background with "state=repeat".

[NTG-context] Re: Draw cutting line
Cutting an A4 landscape in half is plain vanilla 148.5 mm,
folding the sheet in two, so why would there be a need to draw a line
(that you have to cut exactly in two to avoid bleeding)

Matthias,
this should work:
\enabledirectives [backend.usetags=crap]
\setuptagging[state=start]
\setupstructure[state=start]
\setupbackend
[format=PDF/A-3a,
intent=sRGB IEC61966-2.1,

\setupbackend[format=pdf/ua-1]
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\starttext
\externalfigure[cow][label={this is a cow}]
\stoptext
Let us know whether your Acrobat reads the text (but this is validated
fine by veraPDF).
I hope it helps,
Pablo

Wolfgang has already answered your main question but I would like to point out
that the way you are writing math will give wrong horizontal spacing. The
standard method is to use $ to start math mode and then $ again to stop math
mode: so one would write
Wenn $(a,b) \subseteq \reals$ ein Menge $L^{\uparrow}((a,b))$ Folge
($\int^b_a \varphi_k(x) \dd x$) etc.
