I see it like this: unless there is an aviation deal of some sort to keep the UK in the EASA system, all certificates/approvals/licenses issued by the UK CAA will loose mutual recognition in the EASA system on the day of BREXIT.
Why? Because as soon as a State leaves a controlled system, it can not be controlled and thus could/may/will deviate from the controlled system by applying its own interpretation of the rules/own standards/own oversight methods. Without a deal on aviation, the control of that State has gone and so the certificates issued by that State can only be derecognised by the controlled system - aka, UK issued licenses will not be considered approved in the EASA system.
Without a deal, and if you want to use your license in EASA-land (working for an EU operator), probably the way forward is to get a license from an EASA State.
Let's hope for a deal on aviation....
