> by definition MOND cannot produce Keplerian rotation curves.

thats a common misunderstanding of MOND and means you did not stop to understand the definition. look at the formula carefully; in high gravitational regimes it looks newtonian (obviously, e.g. solar system). MOND, by definition predicts keplerian curves when the galaxies are rotating quickly (high gravitation). You will find that ellpitical and lenticular galaxies are almost always rotating fast. it also can through EFE but i dont fully understand the math enough to explain that.
