If you Google this "problem", you will see that it is based upon a misconception.
Disabling the userValidationByEmail plugin does *not* allow users to register without confirming their email addresses. That would be very insecure. It simply allows some other plugin (eg. LDAP or OpenID) to take over the confirmation process.
If you have no such plugin activated, then the expected behaviour is exactly what you have seen. No accounts are confirmed and so no new users can login.
Thanks but it's too bad this misconception isn't document anywhere prominent - not everyone who starts off with elgg knows it's peccadilloes
