1. create new table (without connection between new and old tables and without AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'accounts.User')

But it works for dev/production databases if you want to apply migrations from first in tests or another from scratch database creations you should "compact your migrations", for me it was next steps:

1. Make a dump of a database (in my case by sqldump)
2. Cleanup database (especially table django_migrations)
3. Remove all migrations in your project

6. Run manage.py migrate
7. Remove table django_migrations in your dump (maybe some other django_* tables )
8. Restore your database from a dump
