Sure .. in fact the Andromeda galaxy which is definitely outside the Milky Way can be seen in skies without a lot of light pollution just using the naked eye.. It's over 2 million light years away.

It depends on what you mean by "see".We can see, with the eye, the Andromeda Galaxy, and also the Magellanic Clouds, all outside our Milky Way Galaxy. However, we cannot see individual stars there, and these are the closest of extragalactic objects.
Even the largest supernova, if it were to occur in one of these galaxies, would not achieve a brightness that would make it eye visible.

You can't see individual stars, but you can see the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye. The light coming from Andromeda consists of many millions of stars, that look like they are very close together. Of course they are several hundred light years apart. The Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years from Earth.

most of the "stars" you see in the night sky are actually galaxies and galaxy clusters.

go away from the city lights. 20+ miles away from a city and the sky will darken enough.
