Whitebalance setting in presets in Darktable

Presets for the white balance module store the coefficients used when creating the preset. (from this post )

In your case, I think @MStraeten 's advice is best.
In the “preferences” dialog, “processing” tab, set “auto-apply chromatic adaptation defaults” to “legacy”.
If you also want to get rid of the auto-applied tone mapper, set “auto-apply workflow defaults” to “none”
