出でる
出る is a general intransitive verb for 'to go out' or 'to exit', while 出て行く emphasizes the act of leaving a place and going away, often from the speaker's perspective.
去さる
去る is more formal and can mean 'to depart' or 'to leave' without necessarily implying 'going out' from an enclosed space. 出て行く is more concrete and physical.

Etymology

Compound of 出て (te-form of 出る, 'to go out') + 行く ('to go'). The いく/ゆく variation reflects the older ゆく form of 行く, which is still used in some contexts.
