You must have missed this support article —> How to delete your Apple ID account - Apple Support
Carefully and thoroughly read that article for information about what happens when you delete your Apple ID account. For example:
"Make sure that you sign out of all your devices to avoid issues with apps that use your Apple ID account or iCloud. After your account is deleted, you can't sign out of iCloud or turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock on your devices. If you forget to sign out, you might not be able to use your device when your account is deleted."
If you only just requested account deletion it may not be too late:
"What happens if I change my mind after I have requested that my account be deleted?
While your request is being processed, you can contact Apple Support [call them at a telephone number for your country --> Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support ] with the unique alphanumeric access code you received, and we’ll help you cancel your request. After your account is deleted, Apple can't cancel the request, reopen your account, or restore your data."
In that case there is a specific place to contact Apple for your situation. Apple can reset a device if a person can provide sufficient evidence of valid ownership (usually the original receipt from Apple or an authorized retailer —> https://support.apple.com/HT202711 ). Try this online here --> https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support (Yes, apparently this does work in this situation too: How to remove previously deleted apple id… - Apple Community )

If the Apple ID belonging to the iPhone is still deleted there is a change that you’re going to face a hard time when resetting the iPhone to factory settings
