It doesn't need a fighter against MM... Saturation attacks of hundreds of GLCMs against MMs airbases in Sittwe would disable their ability to scramble fighters against BD and their other air bases are much to far away to even reach within 50-100 KMs of BD. No clue who they could buy GLCMs from besides China but regardless it would be hard to sanction something like a missile. YAK-130s, F-7s, Mig-29s would be unrestricted by A2A fighters to go on sorties inside MM.BD would not buy JF-17 Block 3 and so Pakistan not selling is moot.
Pakistan would never turn down an order for many squadrons of the fighter that would bring in billions in revenue and act as a major marketing sale for the plane.
Even JF-17 Block 3 is pointless as BD needs one Chinese fighter that can deal with Indian Rafale and that can only be J-10C, and one Western fighter to take care of Myanmar. No Western fighter can be reliable against India due to geopolitics.
