So, convince yourself that random variables $Y_i$, defined through $Y_itriangleq displaystylefrac{X_i}{X_1+X_2+X_3}$ for $i =1,2,3$ are identically distributed, due to symmetry. Hence, $mathbb{E}[Y_1]=mathbb{E}[Y_2]=mathbb{E}[Y_3]$. Now, $Y_1+Y_2+Y_3=1$, implying that $mathbb{E}[Y_1+Y_2+Y_3]=1implies mathbb{E}[Y_i]=1/3$ for every $i $.
From here, your answer is $2/3$.
