I don't think you need to specify an external IP in the torrc file. You can just specify 0.0.0.0:9050 for socks and 0.0.0.0:9030 for directory. Tor will identify if you have a dynamic IP and resync with the network automatically each time it changes. Also make sure it is a relay you are running and not a bridge. A dynamic IP is no good for a bridge.
