There's no built-in way to do this. It's an old todo-item to allow some 
tags to be defined to be thread-based, that is, MailMate would always 
keep the tag in sync for all emails in the same thread. In other words, 
tagging one message tags them all and vice versa. I guess something like 
that would work in this case as well.

It'll only work if the same rule works for incoming and sent message. In 
that case, you could/should create a smart mailbox including only 
Inbox/Sent email and add the rule to that instead.
