Yes. The python tor exitlist tool will do that. As may the dns checker.

But if a simple NEWNYM is not enough, the frequency of usable nodes
may therefore be slim, and roving at such a rate as to be unusable.

And if the intent of such an enumerative search is to use the
results to do things which would be likely to get the exit blocked...
please don't.
