If you password protect the export file... It will be encrypted with AES256 encryption and you won't be able to open it with a text editor to copy/paste your keys into Electrum... In fact, nothing will be able to read that export file except a decryption app like OpenSSL.
You certainly won't be able to import the encrypted file into any known crypto wallet.
Exporting your private keys is not entirely without risk. It would be advisable to disconnect all networks and do what you can to make sure your PC is free from viruses/Trojans/malware etc. before exporting...
Maybe even consider using a Linux Live CD and the Linux version of MBC with your MBC wallet to lower the odds of the keys being stolen, if your main OS might be compromised?
Personally, I'd also recommend that you "sweep" the keys rather than import... Yes, it'll cost a transaction fee, but it'll put your coins into a new wallet with unexposed private keys and with the added backup protection of the 12 word seed!
