There is only described configuration for ctrl+A which (strangely) doesn't work for me. But I'd like to use rather alt instead of control

Change "c" to "m" (see the man page).

As other have noted, you can do this by describing your favorite control sequence in e.g. the ~/.tmux.conf config file.
set-option -g prefix M-b
You can also execute this from within tmux by using the command-prompt command, ie. the current prefix and the : character, to run the set-option command interactively. I.e., type Ctrl-b then these characters, as is:
:set-option -g prefix M-b
followed by the Enter key
