It all depends on what your local fire codes state.
Several factors: is it considered a fire exit? If it is, most likely you have to keep it operational. Any foam insulation should be fire protected. Why not build a "wall" out of 2 X 4's and insulate with fiberglass that will fit over the door. Plastic over the fiberglass to protect it on both sides. It can be slid out of the way if you need to use the door in the future. Attach at the top and bottom to the door rails with pipe strapping so it's stable.
