The most likely explanation is that X-Pack security is rejecting updates from beats (that is one of the features of security - it rejects actions from unauthenticated sources)

The [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/beats.html) walks through the process of integrating Beats with X-Pack security.
