You can't. For exporting IPA files, in addition to: you have to have a paid account, you also would need to install the distribution certificate (Production) on your machine -or on the desired machine that should export- to be able to export IPA files.

The purpose of provisioning profiles is to let the devices to be authorized to run an your exported IPA file, they would be embedded in the app bundle. Logically, exporting an IPA file without containing any provisioning profile means that the IPA file won't work on any device, which it seems to be meaningless.
