I tried connecting the end of a wire beam to a solid using an MPC beam constraint. The analysis runs fine in linear range but doesn't give expected results in a non-linear material regime. Can someone help me understand how I should connect those two?

There are several approaches. Try for example with kinematic coupling or rigid body constrain.
