No, unfortunately /2/files/export doesn't support exporting as Markdown, nor is there another way do that in a 'paper_as_files' account, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
Update: the /2/files/export endpoint now supports exporting .paper files as Markdown.

I'll add a +1 to this feature request. We need an option to export as markdown via the API! Thank you :-)

At our company we use the current /paper/ endpoint to extract papers in markdown format.
I have been trying to migrate to the Dropbox API, but as mentioned, it only returns HTML. Since the exported HTML does not have semantics included (No <h1>...<h6>), lists items are all wrapped in <ul>'s seperatly, I can not transform the exported HTML back to markdown.
We would love to have the ability to export to markdown, to use Dropbox Paper as a CMS like we described in this blog post: Dropbox Paper as a headless CMS
