Unfortunately we still accelerate at 3,000' aal so it's quite likely a g/a will be executed below accel alt. So if I g/a between 3000' aal and 1500 aal' (at 1500' aal I will still only be in conf 2) I put thrust levers to TOGA, call "go around, don't touch the flaps" and immediately put the thrust levers back to CLB. It works well.

cant follow the open climb method like rudderrat suggested? thanks.
If you're below the alt selected in the window and you pull alt, you will get open clb mode and climb to the selected altitude at the selected or managed speed. This works fine most of the time in terms of power, however it won't engage the go-around procedure in the FMS. To do so you need to have hit TOGA. Therefore it's recommended to hit TOGA with the thrust levers regardless of how much power you require. If you don't require TOGA power, put the levers momentarily to TOGA then immediately back to CLB.
