Why do you insist on collecting email addresses even though
$wgEnableEmail=false?

Wikis may be discussing sensitive topics or located in countries with
repressive governments. Collecting email addresses makes the wiki a
target for police, phishers, and could get the user fired, outed, or
even arrested.

Just check $wgEnableEmail before all other email functions, like you
do here:
specials/SpecialUserlogin.php:878: $template->set( 'useemail', $wgEnableEmail
);
templates/Userlogin.php:82: ... if( $this->data['useemail'] && 
templates/Userlogin.php:172: <?php if( $this->data['useemail'] ) { ?>
(However note Bug #10158).
