Beats don't support AWS Authentication. Your options are:

1. Set up Fine-Grained Access Control in Amazon Elasticsearch Service and enable basic auth and proceed with elasticsearch output.
2. For IAM-based domain access policy set up Logstash, install logstash-output-amazon-es plugin and properly set your access credentials. Finally, configure logstash output in your beat pointing to this logstash instance.
