Just to get our Terminology straight, the key field of your table is the email field. Every table still has a Record ID field even if it is not set as still being the key field.  

The formula will do the work of what you want to go in that field if the user does not have an email address, but the work of putting the value from the formula field into the email field will be done by a Form Rule.
