You're doing all the right things, but the fundamental issue is that you're using the latest version of OpenStudio-HPXML while BEopt requires an older version.
There are a couple options to do this:
Use the OpenStudio-HPXML measures that are bundled with BEopt (found at e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\NREL\BEopt_3.0.1\Include\OpenStudio-HPXML).
Change args['debug'] = debug to args['debug'] = true on line 66 of C:\Program Files (x86)\NREL\BEopt_3.0.1\Workflow\run_simulation.rb.This will cause BEopt to create OSM files by default for any simulation.
Since we've had a few requests for getting the OS model, we'll look into adding a setting to BEopt that allows the OSM to be generated.
One final note: 3D geometry from BEopt v3 is not currently preserved in the resulting OpenStudio model; you can read more about that in the documentation here. Some users are confused by this.
