This is my image syntax...
After uploading an image, simply edit the picture, and you will find a field in the dialogue box where you are able to add “Alternative Text” (alt text). For more information on how to do this, check out this tutorial.

The DokuWiki syntax you quote shows you are using the Image box plugin - which allows a caption, but produces a blank alt tag.
e.g.
[{{ :software:contao:contao_install_open_sauce_00.png |Layout -> Themes -> Themes Import}}]
renders the HTML:-
<div><div><a href='/business/lib/exe/detail.php?id=software%3Acontao%3Acontao_4&media=software:contao:contao_install_open_sauce_00.png'><img exify_intitialized='true' src='/business/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=software:contao:contao_install_open_sauce_00.png' alt='></a><div><strong>Layout </strong>→<strong> Themes </strong>→<strong> Themes Import</strong></div></div></div>
and creates an boxed image with a caption (Wikipedia style) and an empty alt tag.

How To Add Alternative Text For An Image
So you can not populate an alt field using the Imagebox plugin, but you can populate an alt field using the [built-in image tag] [3]. The alt tag generated by the built-in image tag is populated by the value you give to the (tooltip) 'caption'.
e.g.
{{ wiki:dokuwiki-128.png |This is the caption}}
(see :wiki:syntax#media_files)renders the HTML
<a href='/_detail/wiki:dokuwiki-128.png?id=wiki%3Asyntax'><img exify_intitialized='true' src='/_media/wiki:dokuwiki-128.png' alt='This is the caption'></a>
If you want to use both a title tag (tooltip) and a different alt tag you need to enable HTML in your DokuWiki and add the image using HTML.

What you did should already succeed in providing the image with an alt text (not with a caption!), except that you don't need the external square brakets:
If you want a caption instead, you should look at some plugin such as the box plugin.
Finally, if you wanted a link consisting in an image with an alt-text, just use something like
