You have a basic issue because of using the Apple computer. Why?
Rec.709 has been a long-established standard. Required to use sRGB color space, D65 white point at 100 nits in a semi-darkened room, with the monitor set to (essentially) display tranform of gamma 2.4. Originally, the CRT monitors naturally gave this 'transform'. When flat screens came out, Bt.1886 was appended to the Rec.709 standard, requiring display transforms for Rec.709 media of (essentially) gamma 2.4.
But Apple, in all their wisdom, decided to setup their Macs with Retina's to run with a display gamma of 1.96 instead, for playback of Rec.709 media. But only on Macs without Reference modes, as those Macs, when set to HDTV, use the proper display transform!
And so Apple really fouled things up, as all other devices, from broadcast systems through PCs through Android and TVs, and Macs with Reference modes ... use gamma 2.4, or at the least, 2.2.
So Apple created the problem, and as someone who works for/with/teaches pro colorists, I've heard about this A LOT. And they're mostly Apple geeks, and they're pissed at Apple about causing this problem. That realistically cannot be solved. You can't make one file that looks the same with two different display gammas in use.
That's why the "gamma compensation LUT" was created by Adobe, to darken the file at export so that it didn't look too light in QuickTime player on Macs. However, on all other systems, that file will be too dark.
BlackMagic built the "Rec.709-A" export option, which changes an NCLC tag in the file, so that on devices that actually read the tags, it darkens the file ... but ... can also darken it too much on other devices. It doesn't work realistically either.
So .... do you only care how the file looks when viewed on Macs without reference modes, or do you care more about how it looks everywhere else?
If only Macs without Reference modes, then set Premiere's color management to Display color Management on, Viewing gamma to 1.96/QuickTime, auto detect log and auto tonemapping on, use say a Rec.709 working space, and export using presets without HLG or PQ in the preset name.
It will look similar in QuickTime player, Chrome, and Safari browsers, to what you saw in Premiere.
BUT ... in VLC and Potplayer on your machine, and all other non-Mac (without reference mode) systems, it will be dark and over saturated.
Or ... set the viewing gamma to 2.2, as you're probably not grading in a darkened room, and then on export, it will be too light in QuickTime Player, Chrome and Safari, and other non-reference mode Macs.
And the image will be similar to Premiere in VLC and Potplayer on your machine, and everything but your type of Mac system.
Your choice. Isn't that delightful? Not so much, probably ...
