I need to install an exhaust unit on a bathroom I am remodeling. I am looking for a unit that mounts outside the wall. I installed one about 15 years ago and can not find the material info. Anybody have any leads on this?

My thoughts on this is one of those in-line fans were mounted in piping suspended from roof rafters.

When I was 6 or 7, my grandparents built an addition to their house with their first toilet and shower. (I'm not THAT old... this was less than 50 years ago...) We had to endure the spiders, hornets, cold, heat, darkness and stench of the outhouse on every visit when I was a wee kid. If you were particularly lucky, the poopin' flashlight had not been left somewhere else, and had good batteries...

They weren't complete luddites about the benefits of indoor plumbing, but they found the whole alien concept of pooping inside the house to be deeply, deeply disturbing.

So they installed a powerful ventilation fan intended for a large workshop, or maybe a grain bin, on the wall just above the toilet. We had strict instructions for its use before, during, and after the excretory act so as to ensure no evil vapors could ever escape to befoul the rest of the house. It would just about peel your scalp off, and made the door creak under the strain of the airflow.

My apologies that I have no solution for the OP, only a story...

+1 for the Panasonic fans.
I don’t know the constraints your dealing with and I’m pretty sure this (Panasonic) fan would not install in a 3-1/2” wall but I did wall mount this one behind the tub in our guestroom over the garage. It’s whisper quiet too. Maybe you could find a spot to furr out the wall if needed?

Don't buy the cheap fart fans! Here where I work we get a lot of calls for exploding toilets, believe it or not. Every one is a fart fan that was left on overnight and went thermo-nuclear, proceeding to fall out of the ceiling into open bowl causing rapid cooling and explosion of said bowl...l
