What connectors are installed by default in MS-Exchange 5.5? Do I need to configure X.400 to sent to those email clients outside the LAN?

In Standard 5.5 you have available

Site Connector - go between 5.5 sites
IMS - Internet Mail (SMTP)
MTA - MS Mail communicate directly with MS Mail
Notes - Lotus Notes Connector communicate directly with Notes
cc:Mail - cc:Mail connector communicate directly with cc:Mail
others - Calendar, Groupwise, SNADS, Profsetc

5.5 Enterprise
X.400 Connector - to communicate directly with a X.400 network or cloud using specific hardware
Also all connectors listed in Standard

Typically to communicate outside your lan you would use the IMS or the SMTP. X.400 was a primary transport during the early 90s, but now its not financially feasible to use as is the SMTP connector.

Clients can use the following to connect to the server:

POP3
IMAP4
MAPI (Outlook)
Web Access (OWA)

Connectivity all depends on how your infrastructure is configured.

Hope this helps.
