I am trying to use external player for playing video files. In my old computer (now defunct), there used to be 6 sub-categories under Movies in Configuration and I can simply select an external player in Movies/Movie Player.

Recently when I installed Mediaportal on this computer in question, there are only 3 sub-categories: Folder, Database, and Movie Player. Moreover, I can't find the external player option under the Movie Player category. Is this normal, or the option is moved to somewhere else?

in the config section, up in the right hand coner of the screen, there is "switch to Expert Mode" button. Click this and all options will be visible. Also mentioned in the docs MediaPortal/Configuration - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation
