This is absurd reasoning.
All the UK will be doing is following the treaties in place to end an existing agreement. That's not breaking a treaty - it is following it.

When that treaty is merely "you cannot sign trade deals" I don't think people signing trade deals would care. That rule exists for the EU's benefit, not for the benefit of member states.

Thats not the point of deals - merely convincing your prospective trade partner that a deal is unfair to you at that time is a hard sell.
The UK signed the deal knowing the consequences of it, why would another country sign a trade deal with you knowing that you will not follow the terms due to your countries internal politics ?

Because that's always a risk with any deal. Look at how many international treaties the USA violates. People still sign deals with them.
"Why would you think we wouldn't?"
"You're breaking your treaty with the EU."
