Let positive integers such $m>n$,and if $$2^m-2^n|3^m-3^n$$
then for any positive integers $k$ have
$$2^m-2^n|k^m-k^n$$



I have looked at the simpler case $k=1,2,3$.I was able to solve this,How to prove $kge 4$. Any progress on the problem is welcome.

    FWIW I did a small Mathematica search. If $1le nle 100$ and $n<mle n+100$, then the only pairs that work are $$(1,2),(1,3),(1,5),(2,4),(2,6),(2,8),(2,14),(3,5),(3,7),(3,9),(3,15),(4,8),(4,16).$$ If that list is complete proving the claim is easy, because no prime factor $>13$ occurs as a factor of $2^m-2^n$ in those cases.

There are only finitely many of $(m,n)$'s for which $2^m-2^n|k^m-k^n$ holds for all $k$ (as observed also by Jyrki in comments).
This is proven in paper by Sun Qi and Zhang Ming-Zhi Pairs where $2^a - 2^b$ divides $n^a - n^b$ for all $n$, where they show that only $(m,n)$ for which this holds with $0 leq n < m$ are:



$$
(1,0),(2,1),(3,1),(4,2),(5,3),(5,1),(6, 2), (7, 3),
(8, 4), (8, 2), (9, 3), (14, 2), (15, 3), (16, 4).
$$
