That's too small a network to make any meaningful estimation of an exponent. At small sample sizes, power laws, exponential distributions and many other distributions are practically indistinguishable from each other. Also, when testing, turn off the finite size correction:

>>> g=Graph.Static_Power_Law(n=100000, m=250000, exponent_out=2.61407159636724, multiple=False, loops=False, finite_size_correction=False)
>>> power_law_fit(g.degree()).alpha
2.677378126993507

That's much closer.
