Last I tried Outlook/Office.com/whatever it is now was still possible. Obviously don't use a VPN etc.

Or just get a burner phone of you're really that paranoid.

Obviously don’t use a VPN

To me this kinda defeats the point of being privacy-conscious.

Why? There's privacy conscious and then paranoid. Using a VPN to sign up to an email provider you're using to sign up for another website is definitely the latter. What do you think is going to happen?

I know that my ISP sells my data to third parties, so I prefer not to give it to them willingly. I don't consider that paranoid.
