Temperature to soften epoxy glue?

Depends on the epoxy. If it is a typical home handyman room temperature cure epoxy, around 160F maybe 200F.
Depends on the formulation and how thick it is between the mated parts but 250° F would be where I'd start to expect to see softening.
What is it you want to separate? Metal's easier than wood; an industrial heat gun works pretty good, or a propane torch held not too close. I've used both to separate glued-on barrel extensions ("bloop" tubes). Otherwise you can use an infrared heat lamp if you want a broader application.
