    You simply need to have it displayed in the PCB Editor window for it to be included in the exported DXF file. A good way to check is to use File - Export - DXF, specify an output name then Edit the Layer Conversion File, when the GUI comes up check to make sure the outline is there, then check Select all and use layer name generated from class and subclass and then click on Map. This specifies the DXF layer names, then click OK and Export.
