My extent is indeed like you said it should be:
    EXTENT -48.0004159 -25.0004164 -46.5004159 -24.0004163

It was because of the line below that you state that the units should be
Decimal Degrees?
    UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],

Your image is 1.5 degrees wide (X dimension) and 1 degree tall (Y dimension)

Your example shows the right proportion as gdalinfo tells the image is
[1800, 1200] but I would like to set the layer metadata ows_extent with the
actual image coordinates, not size, in order to show the image a bit better
in the MapServer demo. Below goes my mapinfo layer element as I'm trying to
configure it.

    LAYER
        NAME "my DEM Image"
        STATUS OFF
        TYPE RASTER
        DUMP TRUE
        DATA "SG-23-V-A.tif"
        PROJECTION
            "init=epsg:4326"
        END
        METADATA
            wcs_label "Some label"
            ows_extent "-48.000416 -24.000416 -48.001816 -24.001816"
            wcs_resolution "0.00083 -0.00083"
            ows_srs "EPSG:4326"
            wcs_formats "GEOTIFFINT16"
            wcs_nativeformat "geotiff"
        END
    END
