Don't use indoor rated wire outdoors, even in a conduit. The insulation will eventualy fail.
I had an air conditioner condensor fan motor go out because of improper wiring. The original electricial used indoot rated romex in a short two foot conduit to the outdoor part air conditioner. Water collected in the conduit and broke down the insulation. At 12 years the insulation broke down and allowed the wires to leak current between the conductors. The short wasn't big enough to trip the circuit breaker, but the motor ran at reduced voltage and quickly burnt out the first day of cooling season. An extra dime for the proper wire would have elliminated several hundred dollars of unnecessary repaires.
