Devise uses warden for authentication. Thus to override the whole behavior you have to override the way devise asks it to handle authentication failures.

Create a class that extends Devise::FailureApp

class RedirectToSignUp < Devise::FailureApp
  def redirect_url
     new_user_registration_url
  end

  def respond
    if http_auth?
      http_auth
    else
      redirect_to new_user_registration_url
    end
  end
end

Add this to your devise initializer config/initializers/devise.rb

config.warden do |manager|
  manager.failure_app = RedirectToSignUp
end

I believe this will solve your problem and will redirect you to the page you were at since you are overriding only the redirect route.
