A strong electrolyte is a solution in which a large fraction of the dissolved solute exists as ions.

In liquified HCl (which would be very cold, by the way - at room temperature and atmospheric pressure HCl is gaseous) the H and Cl atoms have a covalent bond. Liquified HCl therefore does not conduct electricity.
When HCl mixes with water, forming hydrochloric acid, it dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions. That is why hydrochloric acid is conductive.
