There’s a rule not to do an aveira to benefit another but would it apply in a scenario where the purpose of performing an issur derabanan is to enable another person to perform a mitzva doraisa.

    This relates to an extensive discussion in halacha regarding how we rule on the principles of "אין אומרים לאדם חטא בשביל שיזכה חברך" (Shabbos 4a) versus "רבי סבר ניחא ליה לחבר דלעביד הוא איסורא קלילא ולא ליעבד עם הארץ איסורא רבה" ('Eruvin 32b), as well as the parameters and application of those principles. See more discussion here.
