First I create a file with 1000 px x 1000 px 300 dpi.
After this, I create a artboard with 1000x1000 px. Now I filled it with a color.
I click file > export > .png and save it.

Now the problem, I open this exported image to photoshop and see, the pixel size is bigger (4167px x 4167px - 300 dpi) than I create on illustrator.

So, how can I export png files with the correct size, which I set up on illustrator?

The PPI setting you set when creating a new document is just for raster effects (e.g. drop shadows) and doesn't actually have any effect at all on your document (Illustrator is a vector program so has no resolution).

Pixels in Illustrator are actually just points and always correspond to 72 PPI....

So simple answer; export at 72 PPI.
