It is claimed that an electric field cannot exist in a conductor,

an applied electric field was so large that there would be insufficient
mobile charges available to be able to neutralise that field within
a conductor?

In which case the conductor would begin to increase in temperature and
in an extreme case either melt or vaporize.

This would surely affect our theories about wave guides and
co-axial cables, would it not?

No, it would not effect any theory but it would effect the job status
of anyone stupid enough to design such a thing.
