First of all patterns must start with _

exten => _2X.,1,setgroup(outgoing)

Second you are using different patterns

exten => _2X.,1,setgroup(outgoing)

Is NOT the same as

exten => _2X,2,checkgroup(2)

The first pattern is _2X. the second pattern is _2X

Third, do not put spaces after commas.

Try this:

exten => _2X.,1,SetGroup(outgoing)
exten => _2X.,2,CheckGroup(2)
exten => _2X.,3,Goto(another-context,${EXTEN},1)
exten => _2X.,104,Hangup
