one reason being, IEI's are emotivists while EIE's are constructivists?
The question is a little ambiguous. Is it possible that some IEIs might at times seem more outgoing than some EIEs? Absolutely.
Perhaps the intent of the question, though, is "Do you think it's possible that IEI's in general are more visibly outgoing than EIE's?" There it depends on how one defines "outgoing." There tends to be an obsession on the forum with turning things around, speculating that perhaps ILEs are exceedingly introverted-seeming and that Ni types might be more sensing and Si types more intuitive, and what not. And then it always gets to these Reinin dichotomies and their highly suspect descriptions that Augusta came up with on the basis of a few people.

Perhaps a more reasonable question, though, is whether from a certain person's perspective, IEIs might seem more outgoing than EIEs, and that's absolutely true, because depending in what circumstance you know someone, you see all sides. Almost always, if one person sees someone as introverted, another person sees that same person as extraverted; if one person sees Fi, another sees Fe, and so on.

Practically speaking, there's a certain firmness that ENjs can have, a certain sense that they know exactly what they want to do, which can come off as introverted-seeming to others. And of course many people have remarked about how crea-Fe can seem effusive and expressive. So it's all a matter of different perspectives and the meanings of words.
