No, you do not need a hyphen for "overly excited", even if it precedes whatever it modifies. For example, "Gus worked himself into an overly excited state whenever the discussion was about politics." The hyphen is not necessary because the -ly suffix in the adverb "overly" makes it clear that it modifies "excited".
