I don't know if any AES cipher defines an export function. As I said earlier 
the reason I introduce this method is for HPHE. In HPKE, the cipher algorithm 
name is "HPKE" and the keys used in initialization are asymmetric keys. While 
the 3rd step in HPKE is an AEAD cipher, I cannot guarantee the export function 
would only generate a key for this AEAD algorithm. The fact that a length is 
needed for the function means the output could be anything. Also, there is an 
export-only mode that does not require an AEAD cipher at all.
