I had to rezone multiple times to trigger the event to turn in by taking the portal from the previous quest back and forth.

I think it's rather that the quest marker is a bit inaccurate, you have to walk a couple steps further west to trigger Baraat's dialog.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Port of EntryLevel 80-90
<name>, take a look at that platform above. What do you think they use that for? The void creatures steal wildlife from Azeroth and move them here to be broken, then added to their forces. That platform must be where creatures are first brought in.
