I'm using vim and press ctrl-[ a lot (it's <esc> sequence)

But in TMUX after pressing ctrl-[ emerged alt signal.

I'd like to move LINES with alt - j/k. It works perfectly everywhere but TMUX. 

After pressing ctrl-[ (for escape insert mode) and then moving cursor up or down I'm moving line (once).
If I wait quite a bit (around half of a sec) - alt signal disappears and lines not moving by j/k.

After googling for a bit I found it: (line for .tmux.conf) but it didn't work for me.
set -s escape-time 0

How to prevent TMUX from sending alt signal after pressing ctrl-[ ?

Did you restart tmux entirely after changing escape-time? What tmux version?

Yes, I've restarted. And also tried different emulators too (terminololy, guake, kitty, terminator)
Tmux v2.8

I don't really understand what you are seeing.

What do you man "alt signal disappears"?

Now I see, that TMUX is not just program which read configs at start-up - it runs a server which needs to be restarted or configs must be re-read.
Thanks for help.
