No it is not minimal. It loads textfit (which I don't have), natbib,
xgreek, amsmath and tikz. All packages that probably don't have anything
to do with your hyperref problem. It also set a font (FreeSans) that
don't exist on my system, so I can not run the file. I also doubt that
all the beamer settings have something to do with your problem. 

So make a minimal example. Put \listfiles at the start to get a list of
the package versions in the log-file.

"texlive" is not an application but a large bundle of applications and
files. It doesn't make sense to say that "texlive" needs utf8x. 

And Xelatex (which is a part of texlive) don't need it and *don't like
it*. Don't use it with xelatex!  

(I doubt that the option does anything useful. As far as I can see it is
not used in my version of beamer.cls. But it can only do harm with
xelatex).

An empty page in the preamble? The document hasn't started yet.
