Being exothermic relates to a reaction of two substances which give out heat to the surroundings. As such, hydrochloric acid can't be exothermic by itself.
If you add concentrated hydrochloric acid to water, however, heat is generated in the reaction which is one of the reasons why hydrochloric acid should only be diluted in this way (acid added to water, not the other way round) otherwise the solution can quickly and violently boil over and cause acid and heat burns to anything it touches.
