This idiom quite literally means that something is now doubted due to evidence against it. This idiom is used when something that was previously assumed by someone has been proved false by extension causing another belief to be "called into question"
e.g A buisness example
"Due to your frequent misbehaviour in the office your suitability for this role has been called into question"
Meaning that as the person has misbehaved, their suitability for the role (assumed when the person got the job) is now in doubt.
If something is beyond all question then there is no chance that it is wrong.
