ExpIntegralE in Mathematica seems to be the same as the two-argument form of expint in the Symbolic Math Toolbox.

"there is no official matlab function that is used like expint(n,x), in matlab "
Using the function at the doc page for expint linked above in this Answer
expint(sym(3),sym(5.5))
Get the decimal representation
vpa(expint(sym(3),sym(5.5)))
which is the same result using ExpIntegalE in Mathematica link

Is there a reason why you would not just use expint?
help expint
Probably you did not look for it. And that was what you did wrong. When you don't know how to do something in MATLAB, LEARN TO USE LOOKFOR. In my case, this identified many possible things, but do you see the 6th item on the list?
lookfor exponential
expmdemo1 - Matrix exponential via Pade approximation.
expmdemo2 - Matrix exponential via Taylor series.
expmdemo3 - Matrix exponential via eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
exp - Exponential.
expm - Matrix exponential.
expint - Exponential integral function.
...
Any guesses what expint would do? The point is, USE LOOKFOR.

https://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/expint.html is not part of MATLAB???
