"External" meaning not on your Local Area Network?  In that case, no.
The MAC address of a host that's not on your LAN is not visible.  It's
not contained within the packets you receive.

You only see the MAC address of your router, specifically of the
interface that sits on your LAN.  Not of the hosts beyond the router.
