It's a secondary authentication issue. Because I know the email and password of the account, but it requires secondary authentication, but I can't get the mail with the deleted email.

If you do not have access to the email its unlikely you can do so: https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/lost-email-access
However, you need to contact Dropbox support via www.dropbox.com/support while not logged in that even includes here. Its usually easier to use an incognito window.
