I admit I don't know a lot about export.
Is there any transparency or picture-based symbology or anything like that in your map? What file format are you exporting to? Have you tried other formats?

The exports are pixelated as well unless I crank up the resolution. I've never had any problems around 300dpi but now it requires at least 500 to appear smooth.

I think that's a consequence of screen drawing without anti-aliasing.

How does it look when you print it or export it?
