Is there any reference to intergalactic relations in Star Trek in the future?

No, not directly. But at least one of the guys who worked on the franchise, Star Trek:Enterprise's production illustrator Doug Drexler, thought there would be, in at least one future timeline.
In Star Trek:Enterprise's episode "Azati Prime" we are shown the 26th Century starship Enterprise NCC 1701-J which was designed by Doug Drexler. Here is a quote from Memory Alpha in regards to it.




Drexler saw the Enterprise-J "as a multi-generational vessel, that had
large parks, entertainment zones, and entire universities on board.
The ship is so large that turbolifts would be replaced with site to
site transporters. [It] had one deflector, recognizably descended from
the NX. I opted for spindly nacelle struts because I felt it suggested
a technology beyond what we were familiar with. They are beyond
transwarp. They can fold space, and they are exploring other galaxies
besides the Milky Way.
"




So obviously it's only background detail, and it's background detail to a now impossible future, but I think it shows the guys behind the scenes were thinking about it.
