If I attack with a shadow clone unit with an attached equipment for +2 then gain 4 assault for its Attack trigger, do I get to activate the conquer trigger on Sunken Temple battlefield?
Yes. Your Shadow Clone is Mighty at the exact moment you conquer, so Sunken Temple's trigger fires and you can pay [1] to draw 1.
Under the Unleashed rules update, Assault's bonus lasts through the combat resolution step — the Conquer happens (Rule 466.5.d) before the Attacker designation is removed at "Combat ends" (Rule 466.7.a). So at the Conquer moment the clone is still an attacker at 0 (base) + 2 (equipment) + 4 (Assault) = 6 Might, which satisfies Sunken Temple's "Mighty" (5+) condition.

466.5.d. Establishing Control results in a Conquer if that player has not yet scored this Battlefield this turn. See rule 188. Control for more information on Control. See rule 469.1. for more information on Conquering. 466.5.e. This does not have to be the player that applied Contested to the Battlefield. 466.6. The following Task becomes Outstanding: Reminder: Resolve any items on the chain from establishing control and associated FEPR before performing this step. 466.7. 1. Combat ends. 466.7.a. Remove Attacker and Defender Designation from all Units and Players. So the designations are removed after conquering so you do get to draw a card id you pay the 1 energy.
