There are galaxies that appear to be free of dark matter and rotate accordingly. How does MOND account for that?

My understanding is that these observations are a fatal blow to any serious MOND models.

MOND obviously don't have to account for the lack of dark matter, as all galaxies lack it under MOND.

You have to actually do the calculations and compare what MOND output to the observed behaviour of the galaxies in question.

MOND reduces but doesn't eliminate the need for dark matter.
