It is not a replacement, it is an ... addendum.  It provides
themed replacements for most of the classic Tk widgets, along
with some new common controls, but the old ones will remain.
There are many cases where the classic controls still find
themselves more appropriate in a UI than a themed one.

OK, the correct call would be:

bt2.tk.call('style', 'map', 'TButton',
             '-background', '{active green}')

You require the named style, and in this case you want to
apply it to TButton (the class of the themed button).  Note
that it really affects the background drawn, not the
highlight element.
