object or protest
Exclaim or exclamatory interjection/objection is how I read it in the context of debate. To raise an objection forcefully, vocally, to cry out in protest. It is literally interjecting a protest by crying out. And it does have to do with the energy and pitch of the vocalization as well, a forceful exclamation.

: s'exclamer is just exclaim, cry out - pas de connotation d'objection, sauf si qualifié

In a debate, most exclamations are interjected objections or protests. The term out of context may simply mean cry out/exclaim. I was looking for a fit with the stated context. The askers knows more of that context than we and will decide :)
