\hrulefill (and \dotfill and others) are available in LyX via Insert ->
Formatting -> Horizontal Space -> Choose "Variable horizontal space"
and a fill and place this into a minipage. The visual feedback in LyX -
two vertical blue thin lines - does not really mirror the result in the
compiled document. 

If you need this function oftentimes, like I do for exam papers or
feedback forms at school, you can define key combinations in LyX:

Tools -> Settings -> Edit -> Key combinations -> New

Copy the following into "Function" and assign a key combination:

inset-insert space \hrulefill{}
