Except AGPL doesn't have the linking exception from LGPL, so your entire application is covered. A microservice doesn't get around it if it's tightly coupled.

A microservice doesn't get around it if it's tightly coupled. It would only be enough if your main application was not dependent on the AGPL microservice (e.g. you have another image processing microservice that provides perfect parity).

Section 13 of the AGPL seems to be the only part of the license that deals with remote network access, and it specifies modified versions. Everywhere else the discussion is around "convey", which in the definitions specifically excludes interaction over a network.
