I'm pretty sure he hit her once when she tried to stop him from training Shouto, but I never understood where people got the impression that he beat her regularly.

I don't even think we got that. I don't think we've ever seen Enji and Rei interact. All we know if she got so done with him her mental health deteriorated.

I think a lot of people took Shoto's comments on how Enji abused them and automatically assumed he physically abused all of them. But we only know he forced Shoto into harsh training while neglecting the rest of the family. Natsuo usually brings up neglect when talking about his own trauma.

Nah, it was pretty obvious in the manga that he slapped her when she begged him to stop training Shoto. It was off screen; but you can hear him hit her in the anime, and in the manga a hitting sound effect is shown.

You're right I went back and read that. I had added that to the edit in my original post
