I got myself a roadworn Tele some weeks ago. I get some fretbuzz when I bend the low E string on the 2nd and 3rd fret. I use .011 gauge strings and my action is pretty low. I don´t get so much buzz on the other strings. The relief looks good to me. I have to raise the low E pretty too much to avoid the buzz. What could be done?

Level and crown the frets. If you can't or don't want to do it yourself, have a pro do it. Ought to cost less than $150. Will be the best investment you can make in that guitar.
