Elgg comes already with the uservalidationbyemail plugin that requires new members to verify their account by email. But this plugin alone does not prevent spammers to join your site unfortunately.
The Spam Login Filter plugin (https://community.elgg.org/plugins/774755) checks IP, username and email address of new users on registration. This does not reduce spammers to zero but it helps at least to reduce spam accounts. If you additionally register at the StopForumSpam site to get an api key, you can also report spammers that managed to register when you delete their account to stop them from registering again (and also help other sites by blocking them there, too).
