If you have time, to get your best image, export as Quicktime>Prores 422 LT, then use Handbrake (Free compression) to compress as mp4. Handbrake does a better job than the media encoder. If you have the speed or time just upload the ProRes export to YT.

The estimated file size and the actual file size you get when you export always differ. What´s the file size of the exported file?

Lower the bitrate to get a smaller file. Change preset to either Adaptive Medium Bitrate or Adaptive Low Bitrate or adjust the bitrate manually. Another way is to use 2 pass VBR instead of 1 pass VBR.
