I'm simulating dynamic delta hedging for up-and-out call option. For plain vanilla call options, I heard that the option price is the expected value of the accumulated delta hedging cost. Does it also hold for exotic option, like up-and-out call options?

Yes.

If you use the BS Model for computing deltas and the same model for evolving the stock price then you should replicate the pay-off of any contract.
