I would agree with that, and add that Beorn may have been more concerned with the dwarves taking his ponies into Mirkwood and risk having them die there for any number of reasons (including as meals for hungry dwarves). Gandalf wasn't taking his horse into harm's way, so he was probably given more latitude with it. Being a wizard gave him more status, too. I'm not sure where the White Council met to drive Sauron out of Dol Guldur, but Lorien seems the likely spot since it was closest to the threat. If Gandalf told Beorn he was going to Lorien, which wasn't too far off, he might have been allowed to go there and release the horse, then get another one from Lorien to go to Esgaroth. Given the distance to Esgaroth, I think he'd need a horse, not a pony. All speculation, of course.

Did Beorn know of Gandalf's mission in Hobbit?

Oh, I'm sure that Gandalf would not deliberately cross Beorn...
