If you are worried about rust, (and rust related failures) then there
is something wrong other than technique (like too much moisture?)
Since you didn't provide any specifications to the stel beam, it's
hard to say for 100% certainity, but there are many ways to prevent
corrosion (such as paints, primers, etc.) WRT the holes.
You *may* get away with an adhesive too, but I'm not sure. Someone
with more experience in that area can chime in. But for drilling
holes, I don't see a problem at all, unless the blasted thing is under
water!
You don't mention how the ceiling is fitted into this grand plan, so
that's an open subject too. As someone else said, you may end up
boxing that beam to make it look good.

Worrying about the holes is like using a shotgun to
kill a bug. It is completely inconsequential.
However, along that line of thought, I always raised
the partition with a single plate on top and shot it to
the beam with a powder nailer. Believe me, that hole
will not rust.
