Their help page seems to indicate otherwise. They don’t mention the fact that a verification email is needed:
Sign in to Dropbox when you know your password
If you lost access to the email address associated with your Dropbox account but still remember your password, try to sign in to your Dropbox account and then immediately change your email address.

Hi Wilbur1, sorry to hear about that!
Do you happen to have any old devices, that might be linked to your Dropbox account?
Your best option would be to contact your old email provider, and see if they can recover or recreate your old email address. Can you try that?
Keep me posted!

Unless you have an device already signed in I'm afraid there is very little you can do: https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/lost-email-access
