It's the exact opposite accentation that changed
V+tone t n V > V d n V, etc. You have ignored
* (xukWnós > uxWnaz > auhns, oven, etc) as Gk ipnós.
If you think these are unrelated at least there's
little chance the plain *u would be accented.

There is no example of *swépnos in Germanic. ON
svefja and svefn (a neuter noun) must be from *swop-
followed by j that fronts a>e (as somnium). This
svefja is probably a regularization of *swo:peye-
after that became independent in meaning.
