TheWoWDBGO STRAIGHT AHEAD!
When you come up the steps to leave, the door with the question mark over it is to the left.
You want to be going straight ahead, to leave.If you turned towards that door with the question mark, and now facing it, do a 180 and
TURN LEFT!The exit is what you want and it appears as two doors, slightly ajar, with the words (when you hover over the doors) "Exit Torghast".
EDIT:
It's when you continue the quest-line, then go back into Torghast (an orange question mark will be on your minimap, over the portal to it), that you'll see the question mark on the door as orange and you'll meet someone important on the other side.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
You can complete this quest after you've completed the campaign quest The Search for Baine (which takes place in Torghast). You leave with Baine and are stuck in the main hall with a key that doesn't appear to fit the lock in the antechamber with the big question mark hovering over it.
If you exit Torghast through the door and head back to Ve'nari at Ve'nari's Refuge, there will be the following dialog option available when you interact (above the merchant option):
(Quest) This was carried by one of the Jailer's more powerful guards. Do you know what it does?
If you have NOT taken Baine back and completed that quest, Ve'nari tells you:I do, and I shall tell you after you see to it that your friend there is in Oribos.
Come back to me once he is safe.Once you complete the other quest and head back to Ve'nari in The Maw, the dialog response is more helpful (and the lock inside the antechamber will be more accepting).
(I looked into this based on TophatGhost's comment (here) and would have had run around aimlessly for a lot longer without that input.
To complete the 2nd step of this quest "Find a Domination Lock...", first take the Torghast portal behind [npc=162804]. Then go to 16, 62. You can open the map to find the corridor that leads to 16, 62 (the shielded question mark).

Description
<As you stare at the object you've found, you sense it may lead you to another part of this wretched tower. Perhaps Ve'nari may know more of its purpose.>

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Search for Baine
I dare not step inside that accursed tower myself, of course. While I cannot tell you exactly where your comrade is being held, I offer a gift to assist you. Use it inside Torghast. It should take you somewhere near your missing ally. Baine Bloodhoof was his name, yes?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Deep Within
Who... who are you? Have you come to extract more of my memories? I'm afraid there aren't any useful ones left, save for the memories of my imprisonment. Or perhaps you're here for something else?
