COMMENTS
Sándor (2006) proved that all the squarefree numbers are e-harmonic of type 2.
Equivalently, numbers k such that A348963(k) | k * A049419(k).
Apparently, most exponential harmonic numbers of type 1 (A348961) are also terms of this sequence. Those that are not exponential harmonic numbers of type 2 are 1936, 5808, 9680, 13552, 17424, 29040, ...

EXAMPLE
The squarefree numbers are trivial terms. If k is squarefree, then it has a single exponential divisor, k itself, and thus the harmonic mean of its exponential divisors is also k, which is an integer.
12 is a term since its exponential divisors are 6 and 12, and their harmonic mean, 8, is an integer.
