This is for some kind of artificial example code, isn't it? Because in a real world application of a DH/ECDH key exchange you will always have a private key for the local peer and a public key for the remote peer. To transfer the public key to the remote side you will need to somehow encode it. Either with an OSSL_ENCODER, or via EVP_PKEY_get1_encoded_public_key depending on the communication protocol. When encoding the key with OSSL_ENCODER you can specify with the OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_new_for_pkey() via the selection parameter that you want to encode just the public key or the public key with domain parameters.
