check_external_commands should be either "1" or "0".

I expect you were thinking of command_check_interval which yes should
be set to "-1" if you want Nagios to check external commands as often
as possible.  This is how I have mine set:

  command_check_interval=-1

Does your nagiostats output include "Used/High/Total Command Buffers:"
and if so, what does it say?

If it helps any, I also have:

  external_command_buffer_slots=4096

and my nagiostats says:

  Used/High/Total Command Buffers:        1 / 100 / 4096
