I think it should be a catenary shape.

Its a pure bending case where elastic curve is arc of circle.

If R is constant then it is absolutely a circle because the circle is one of figures in which r is constant at any point and direction.

If M is constant, then the radius of curvature of the beam is constant and the shape of the elastic curve is a circular arc.
