I am no expert, but I think siphon drains are usually considered an upgrade over the vertical stand pipes. So worst case you get an upgraded system that will draw anoxic water off the bottom of the pond rather than drawing highly oxygenated water off the top. I have no idea if the beavers would still try to plug a siphon. Seems like I've seen/read folks fill those old stand pipes with concrete, but I can't remember for sure and I have no personal experience with that. I would think the very best answer is dig the pipe out, but maybe not 100% necessary. At least we get you a bump and maybe someone better will answer.
