Ok I found:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun gnus-msg-mail (&optional to subject other-headers continue
				switch-action yank-action send-actions return-action)
  "Start editing a mail message to be sent.
Like `message-mail', but with Gnus paraphernalia, particularly the
Gcc: header for archiving purposes.
If Gnus isn't running, a plain `message-mail' setup is used
instead."
  (interactive)
  (if (not (gnus-alive-p))
      (message-mail)


[...]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

`compose-mail' is calling `gnus-msg-mail' which have changed and call
`message-mail' with no arguments unless a gnus session is alive.

Fallback to old version of `gnus-msg-mail' and all works fine.


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun gnus-msg-mail (&optional to subject other-headers continue
		      switch-action yank-action send-actions return-action)
  "Start editing a mail message to be sent.
Like `message-mail', but with Gnus paraphernalia, particularly the
Gcc: header for archiving purposes."
  (interactive)
  (let ((buf (current-buffer))
	mail-buf)
    (gnus-setup-message 'message
      (message-mail to subject other-headers continue
		    nil yank-action send-actions return-action))
    (when switch-action
      (setq mail-buf (current-buffer))
      (switch-to-buffer buf)
      (apply switch-action mail-buf nil)))
  ;; COMPOSEFUNC should return t if succeed.  Undocumented ???
  t)
