That looks like 'Smoothing groups' to me instead of normals.

 

1. Put an 'Edit Poly' on the mesh and go to 'Polygon' subobject.

2. Then select all of the polys with 'Ctrl+A.' Next, go to the 'Polygon: Smoothing Groups' panel and click 'Clear All.'

3. Lastly, "uncheck" the 'Smoothing groups' box in the OBJ export Options dialog.

 

See if that helps. Sometimes it doesn't and I have to remove the 'Smoothing' in the program the mesh went to, in your case, you may have to remove the Smoothing Groups or assignments from within Marmoset.
