Rashi explains a shaliach tzibur is not merely to be chazon:

The dispute in Rishonim is if one without a beard can occasionally be Shaliach Tzibur.
Tosfos and Rashba says on occasion, someone without a beard can be chazon, but not b’kviyus or on a Taanis.
The Ramban and Ran say that one without a beard cannot even temporarily be the chazon.
An avel without a beard – can he daven for the omud? See Biur Halacha above that we make a dispensation for him.
