UF cable required in exterior conduit?

I’m having a brain fart…
Is UF cable required at exterior, even when inside a conduit?
Or is this acceptable? (12/2 NM to receptacle)

NM is not for use on the exterior, even if in conduit. Conduit outside is considered a wet area. NM is not for use in wet areas.

Yup, Jim nailed it. The inside of an exterior raceway is a wet location, type NM cable only is permitted in dry locations.
