I am unaware of any such records of the exodus incidents that have survived outside the Bible, apart from extremely fragmentary evidence (succeptible to more than one interpretation). The Egyptians were selective in how they portrayed history, leaving the exploits, obscuring the disasters. In the case of Akenaton, they attempted to obliterate his memory entirely. So, the disasters of the Exodus would not have made good fodder for tomb paintings, carvings of pharaoh's exploits, etc.
