"The president was notorious for long speech.
He addressed his speech without interption for 6 hours."

Can I use "without being interuptted" instead of "without interuption" ?

No- they have different meanings (I presume) here. Without being interrupted means by other people, and without interruption means without pausing.

But you have other problems. Try this:

"The president was notorious for his long speeches. He addressed his audience for 6 hours without interruption."
