Londinium, Britannia, 284 AD. The military commander Carausius is leading a movement to take Britannia out of the Imperium Romanum. He thinks there is a conspiracy between locals and foreigners to take control of power in Roma, orchestrated mainly by the new sect self-denominated as Christianos, suspiciously enough, founded by and composed of Jews, but also of many Greeks, both groups aiming to recover their glories of the past and remove Roman domination.
Carausius calls for a referendum, under the slogans recupera imperium and age Britanniam magnum iterum. Vote Leave (Sententia Abire) wins.
How can we call this result in Latin? One method is to adopt current practices to Latin. The other is to come up with something idiosyncratic. I cannot think of anything for the latter, but for the former, one option could be Brexire, which is the composition of both Britannia and the verb "to exit", exire. But is this the most appropriate meaning? Alternatives?

The noun "exit" is exitus, fourth declension.
Therefore a natural analogue of the English "Brexit" would be Brexitus.
There might be some use for a verb brexire, but I believe the noun is most relevant.
I think it is very important that the word is recognized well.
If you use a different word, you might be better off explaining the whole thing, like below.
Nuntii Latini had a news item on Brexit, but it makes not use of the word:
Suffragium de exitu Britanniae procrastinatum
Theresa May, prima ministra Britanniae decrevit, ut suffragium, quod die Martis (11.12.) de exitu Britanniae in parlamento Britanniae fieri debebat, procrastinaretur. Tum pars delegatorum factionis conservativae flagitavit, ut de fiducia illius factio suffragaretur, sed suffragio facto May votis ducentis contra centum septendecim (200-117) superior discessit.

But is exit in Brexit a verb or a noun? I mean, it is expressing an action, so should a verb be more appropriate? You say the verb is "more relevant". Why exactly?

I agree. It seems to me that using arbitrary parts of words to form new roots (as in br- from Britain) wouldn't have been very idiosyncratic to III century native Latin speakers
