It should be, right? It's out of the axon and definitely out of the cell body.

Well the region of the synaptic cleft is extracellular, where nuerotransmitters go through exocytosis. The entire synapse contains the axon terminius of a presynaptic neuron and postsyanptic membrane of another neuron or an organ.
