In the English literature I've read, the word 'Beowulf' was pronounced as [bee-wulf].

I think it's like you are saying the words "bee" and "wolf" together. At least that was what my English Literature professor said =)

BAY-wolf.
In the original Danish, in which the poem was written, "eo" was a diphthong, much like our "th" or "ph," thus his name would properly be pronounced, "BAY-wulv," or, "BAY-wolf."
