I'd code it like this: 

client.on('message', function(message) {
    if (message.content === "!command") { 
        var interval = setInterval (function () {
try {
            var meme = client.channels.get("493228844896092162")
                meme.send("123")
                } catch (error) {
console.log(error.stack);
        }, 5 * 60000); 
    }
});

Your interval seems to be incorrect. setInterval expects interval to be in milliseconds.

1 * 5000 -> 5sec

You need to update that to

5 * 60 * 1000 -> 5 mins

setInterval takes the arguments of a function and a set number of milliseconds on which to trigger.

The correct interval would be

setInterval(function(){}, 5 * 60000)

This is 5x60 seconds
