As far as I understood, when configuring MWE2 for code generation with Xtend2 one should specify Xtext grammar.

Can I somehow use Ecore metamodel instead of grammar (I want to generate code from XMI models, not from text ones).

Unlike Xpand and the old Xtend, Xtend 2 compiles and runs against Java
types. So as long as you have generated Java code for your ecore model
you can write against them.
If you use dynamic EMF you'll (just as in Java) have to deal with the
generic EMF API.
