Well that's somewhat difficult to say because I don't think anyone has counted up all the times he's quotes poets, but he does a fair bit of quoting in the Republic and Cratylus.

On top of that, a lot of the time he references lost works/philosophers that no longer exist

Homer seems to get quoted almost once in every dialogue, Hesiod much less so. Off the top of my head, Hesiod gets quoted in the Symposium by Phaedrus, and Socrates uses his myth of the ages of mankind in the Republic for both the metal souls and the degeneration of regimes.
