Upon entering a valid email (whether it is already registered or not) the form will show the following notification "an email was sent to [email protected] with the sign up instructions, please follow the link in the email to continue the registration" (rewrite for more concise message)

If the user already exists the email will be a warning + a link to the password reset form

If the user does not exist, the email will be a link that confirms the ownership of the email address and the rest of the registration process.

An attacker trying to guess if an email is registered would not know, because the form does not give away that info.
