Did you try :
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/mali.so glmark2-es2

(mali.so or everything containing your GL ES binary)

I did no try on the mele yet, but with the Cubox i do :
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGLESv2.so:/usr/lib/libXrender.so.1:/usr/lib/libEGL.so
DISPLAY=:0 /opt/e17/bin/expedite -e gl -a -p 720p

The probleme is that without LD_PRELOAD, libs are the one provides by
Mesa, so you get a Direct Rendering : Yes, but it's a sofware
fallback, and it's slow.
You can check which .so are loaded at runtime by using ldd, to check.
